objtool: Improve reloc naming

- The term "reloc" is overloaded to mean both "an instance of struct
  reloc" and "a reloc section".  Change the latter to "rsec".

- For variable names, use "sec" for regular sections and "rsec" for rela
  sections to prevent them getting mixed up.

- For struct reloc variables, use "reloc" instead of "rel" everywhere
  for consistency.
