They appeared to be copied from other ports while there is no assembly syntax
for them. Just remove them like we remove R_RISCV_GPREL_[IS].

Fix #320

All relocation types from 0 to 255 are either allocated or reserved in this psABI. I think we want to be consistent with it.

I think it's OK to return them back to "reserved" as these relocations have never been actually used. We need to actively remove declarations of these two relocations from GNU and LLVM toolchains, though. With that, LGTM, but please wait for other reviewers' responses.

Although this is not internal use only relocation like R_RISCV_GPREL_[IS], but we never use those two relocation anywhere, and no way to use that since lack of assembly syntax, so just remove that is LGTM.

They were legacy relocation types copied from other ports.  The related
-fvtable-gc was removed from GCC in 2003.

The associated assembler directives (.vtable_inherit and .vtable_entry)
have never been supported by the RISC-V port.  Remove related ld code.

The relocation reuses an existing ID that was removed in the spec:
riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc#323

and later on reused as:
riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc#402
