packages:mold: add version 2.36.0

Add newly released mold version 2.36.0 from upstream
https://github.com/rui314/mold

New Features
- The --package-metadata=<string> option has been added to embed a given
  string into the .note.package section. This option is designed for
  build scripts that generate binary packages, such as .rpm or .deb, to
  include package metadata in each executable. It simplifies the process
  of identifying the corresponding package for a given executable or
  core file. (7ddc8f4)

- [ARM][PowerPC] We've improved the algorithm for creating range
  extension thunks to reduce memory usage and improve speed. For
  example, linking clang-19 for ARM64 is now ~7% faster than before.

- [RISC-V][LoongArch] We've improved the algorithm for code-shrinking
  linker relaxation to reduce memory usage and improve speed. For
  example, linking clang-19 for RISC-V is now ~4% faster than before.

Bug Fixes and Compatibility Improvements
- mold created a bad relocation for an IFUNC if the linker's output file
  type was a shared library and the symbol was exported. This bug could
  cause a segmentation fault of a linked program. The problem has now
  been fixed. (a297859)

- [RISC-V] mold could produce incorrect code as a result of
  code-shrinking relaxation for the R_RISCV_HI20 relocation. That type
  of relocation was used rarely because it is not PC-relative. That
  being said, if your program used the relocation, and the relocation
  targets were at a low address (from 0x1f800 to 0x20000), your program
  would crash at runtime due to the linker's bug. The issue has now been
  resolved. (eec3f6b)

- [RISC-V][LoongArch] When the linker removed instructions from a
  function as a result of code-shrinking relaxation, the function
  symbol's size in the output file should be updated to reflect the
  result of relaxation, even though doing it is mostly cosmetic. mold
  did not do that. Now, mold sets correct sizes to output function
  symbols. (e6345d5)

- [LoongArch] Binaries linked with mold now work on 64 KiB page systems.
  Previously, only up to 16 KiB pages were supported. (2d7b6b2)

- [s390x] The s390x processor-specific ABI requires the linker to
  reserve the first three slots of the .got section for the runtime.
  mold, however, reserved only two slots and used the third for itself.
  Even though we did not observe issues in the wild, it was a violation
  of the psABI. The problem has now been fixed. (dfce2fc)
