Introduce the concept of a 'mandatory redirection'. A redirection
says (essentially) "I am the replacement for function foo in object w/
soname bar.so". Now, if a redirection is mandatory, and bar.so is
loaded but foo is not found in its symbol table, then V aborts.
The initial motivation for this is making Memcheck work sanely on
glibc-2.6.X ppc32-linux. We really need to intercept 'strlen' in
ld.so right from startup. If ld.so does not have a visible 'strlen'
symbol, Memcheck generates an impossible number of errors resulting
from highly tuned strlen implementation in ld.so, and is completely
unusable -- the resulting undefinedness eventually seeps everywhere.
