Message:

firefox, thunderbird: Remove ELF hack customization

Now --enable-elf-hack=relr is the default, and it just effectively does
the same thing we'd customized.

With a firefox 128.0 build w/o the customization, for libxul.so:

Relocation section '.relr.dyn' at offset 0x3a940 contains 10777 entries
which relocate 431628 locations

So the space save is 431628 * 24 - 10777 * 8 = 10272856 bytes, matching
our expectation.

Also remove a highly outdated comment about gold.
