fix malloc state corruption when ldso rejects loading a second libc
commit c49d3c8adadfa24235fcf4779bb722b1aa6f480b added logic to detect attempts to load libc.so via another name and instead redirect to the existing libc, rather than loading two and producing dangerously inconsistent state. however, the check for and unmapping of the duplicate libc happened after reclaim_gaps was already called, donating the slack space around the writable segment to malloc. subsequent unmapping of the library then invalidated malloc's free lists. fix the issue by moving the call to reclaim_gaps out of map_library into load_library, after the duplicate libc check but before the first call to calloc, so that the gaps can still be used to satisfy the allocation of struct dso. this change also eliminates the need for an ugly hack (temporarily setting runtime=1) to avoid reclaim_gaps when loading the main program via map_library, which happens when ldso is invoked as a command. only programs/libraries erroneously containing a DT_NEEDED reference to libc.so via an absolute pathname or symlink were affected by this issue.
