linker: avoid mapping the whole library before load.

This patch changes the load_library() function in the
dynamic linker to avoid reserving a huge read-only
address-space range just to read the ELF header and
program header (which are typically very small and easily
fit in the first page).

Instead, we use the functions in linker_phdr.c to only
load the data that we need in a temporary mmap-allocated
page of memory, which we release when the function exits.

This avoids issues when loading very large libraries, or
simply debug versions that only need to load a tiny percentage
of their overall file content in RAM.
