cmd/link/internal/loadpe: update comment about @feat.00 symbol handling

Browse Source 
The @feat.00 comment is outdated, as Go does support SEH on
windows/amd64. While here, simplify it and add a link to the
relevant documentation.

// Microsoft's linker looks at whether all input objects have an empty
// section called @feat.00. If all of them do, then it enables SEH;
// otherwise it doesn't enable that feature. So, since around the Windows
// XP SP2 era, most tools that make PE objects just tack on that section,
// so that it won't gimp Microsoft's linker logic. Go doesn't support SEH,
// so in theory, none of this really matters to us. But actually, if the
// linker tries to ingest an object with @feat.00 -- which are produced by
// LLVM's resource compiler, for example -- it chokes because of the
// IMAGE_SYM_ABSOLUTE section that it doesn't know how to deal with. Since
// @feat.00 is just a marking anyway, skip IMAGE_SYM_ABSOLUTE sections that
// are called @feat.00.
// The PE documentation says that, on x86 platforms, the absolute symbol named @feat.00
// is used to indicate that the COFF object supports SEH.
// Go doesn't support SEH on windows/386, so we can ignore this symbol.
// See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/pe-format#the-sxdata-section
