Fix problem where gold fails to issue an undefined symbol error during LTO.

During LTO, if (1) an IR file contains a COMDAT group that is kept,
(2) a later non-claimed file contains the same group, which we discard,
and (3) the plugin fails to provide a definition of the symbols in that
COMDAT group, gold silently resolves any references to those symbols
to 0.

This patch adds a check for a placeholder symbol when deciding
whether to issue an undefined symbol error. It also adds an extra
note after any undefined placeholder symbol error that explains
that a definition was expected from the plugin.
