Comparison with relocation_packer for aosp_marlin-userdebug:
$ du -B1 -s */out/target/product/marlin/system
996958208 base/out/target/product/marlin/system
1008340992 no_pack/out/target/product/marlin/system
997801984 sht_relr/out/target/product/marlin/system
base contains a build with current settings.
no_pack contains a build with relocation_packer disabled.
sht_relr contains a build with SHT_RELR sections enabled.
relocation_packer was saving 11,382,784 bytes (no_pack - base).
SHT_RELR sections are saving 10,539,008 bytes (no_pack - sht_relr).
Bug: None
Test: Built aosp_marlin-userdebug image, boots on device.
Test: Built aosp_x86_64-userdebug image, boots in emulator.
