llext: Fix a bug in section linking

When relocating section symbol addresses the value where the
relocation is to be written is an offset into the section to load.

Simply rewriting it with the section address is not enough, we need
to write the address of the section with the offset into it.

A number is 42
In this sample there are 3 absolute (R_ARM_ABS32) relocations, 2 of which are meant to hold addresses into the .rodata sections where the strings are located. A third is an address of where the printk function (symbol) can be found. At load time llext replaces the values in the .text section with real memory addresses so that printk works as expected with the strings included in the hello world sample.
