skrll d900731978 Resolve dlsym(3) and friends directly so that dlsym(RTLD_NEXT,...) works.
Previously dlsym resolved to the version in crt0.o or libc which would
mean that the caller's shared object couldn't be determined correctly
using __builtin_return_address(0).

Mainly from FreeBSD, but adapted by me. Benefits of this solutions are:

	- backward comptibility maintained
	- existing broken binaries are fixed with a new ld.elf_so
	- __mainprog_obj can be removed from crt0.o
	- we do the same thing as FreeBSD

Fixes PR 22067.

BUGS/PROBLEMS:

* Reports "ldd: mmap of entire address space failed: Cannot allocate memory",
  or erroneously reports that libraries cannot be found,
  when run on many files (`ldd /usr/bin/*').


TO DO:

* Support for executable formats other than ELF.

* Support for coexistance of 32-bit and 64-bit ELF.
