To speed up the loader.Loader.toLocal() method, cache the index of the
most recently accessed object file and check that object's sym range
in toLocal() before doing a full binary search over all object symbol
ranges. This speeds up relink of kubernetes/hyperkube by about 2%, and
improves compilebench (relative to the dev.link branch) by about 5%:
