elf: Refine direct extern access diagnostics to protected symbol
Refine commit 349b0441dab375099b1d7f6909c1742286a67da9:

1. Copy relocations for extern protected data do not work properly,
regardless whether GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS is used.
It makes sense to produce a warning unconditionally.

2. Non-zero value of an undefined function symbol may break pointer
equality, but may be benign in many cases (many programs don't take the
address in the shared object then compare it with the address in the
executable).  Reword the diagnostic to be clearer.

3. Remove the unneeded condition !(undef_map->l_1_needed &
GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS). If the executable does
not not have GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS (can only
occur in error cases), the diagnostic should be emitted as well.

When the defining shared object has
GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS, report an error to apply
the intended enforcement.
