this overhaul further reduces the amount of arch-specific code needed
by the dynamic linker and removes a number of assumptions, including:

- that symbolic function references inside libc are bound at link time
  via the linker option -Bsymbolic-functions.

- that libc functions used by the dynamic linker do not require
  access to data symbols.

- that static/internal function calls and data accesses can be made
  without performing any relocations, or that arch-specific startup
  code handled any such relocations needed.

removing these assumptions paves the way for allowing libc.so itself
to be built with stack protector (among other things), and is achieved
by a three-stage bootstrap process:

1. relative relocations are processed with a flat function.
2. symbolic relocations are processed with no external calls/data.
3. main program and dependency libs are processed with a
   fully-functional libc/ldso.

reduction in arch-specific code is achived through the following:

- crt_arch.h, used for generating crt1.o, now provides the entry point
  for the dynamic linker too.

- asm is no longer responsible for skipping the beginning of argv[]
  when ldso is invoked as a command.

- the functionality previously provided by __reloc_self for heavily
  GOT-dependent RISC archs is now the arch-agnostic stage-1.

- arch-specific relocation type codes are mapped directly as macros
  rather than via an inline translation function/switch statement.

the main motivation for this change is to aid in debugging. since the
main program's entry point is also named _start, it was difficult to
set breakpoints or quickly identify which _start execution stopped in.

the ABI allows the callee to clobber stack slots that correspond to
arguments passed in registers, so the caller must adjust the stack
pointer to reserve space appropriately. prior to this fix, the argv
array was possibly clobbered by dynamic linker code before passing
control to the main program.

only @PLT relocations are considered functions for purposes of
-Bsymbolic-functions, so always use @PLT. it should not hurt in the
static-linked case.

based on initial work by rdp, with heavy modifications. some features
including threads are untested because qemu app-level emulation seems
to be broken and I do not have a proper system image for testing.
