Commit 27f2a4d ("Makefile: fix GDB warning with CONFIG_RELR")
added --use-android-relr-tags to fix a GDB warning

BFD: /android0/linux-next/vmlinux: unknown type [0x13] section `.relr.dyn'

The GDB warning has been fixed in version 11.2.

The DT_ANDROID_RELR tag was deprecated since DT_RELR was standardized.
Thus, --use-android-relr-tags should be removed. While making the
change, try -z pack-relative-relocs, which is supported since LLD 15.
Keep supporting --pack-dyn-relocs=relr as well for older LLD versions.
There is no indication of obsolescence for --pack-dyn-relocs=relr.

As of today, GNU ld supports the latter option for x86 and powerpc64
ports and has no intention to support --pack-dyn-relocs=relr. In the
absence of the glibc symbol version GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR,
--pack-dyn-relocs=relr and -z pack-relative-relocs are identical in
ld.lld.

GNU ld and newer versions of LLD report warnings (instead of errors) for
unknown -z options. Only errors lead to non-zero exit codes. Therefore,
we should test --pack-dyn-relocs=relr before testing
-z pack-relative-relocs.
