LD: Always make a SEGMENT_START expression section-relative

Fix an issue with the SEGMENT_START builtin function where its result is
absolute when taken from the default supplied, and section-relative when
taken from a `-T' command-line override.  This is against documentation,
inconsistent and unexpected, and with PIE executables gives an incorrect
result with the `__executable_start' symbol.

Make the result of SEGMENT_START always section-relative then.

section-relative.
