remove freeing of dynamic linker data when dlopen/dlsym are not used
this was an optimization to save/recover a minimal amount of extra memory for use by malloc, that's becoming increasingly costly to keep around. freeing this data: 1. breaks debugging with gdb (it can't find library symbols) 2. breaks thread-local storage in shared libraries it would be possible to disable freeing when TLS is used, but in addition to the above breakages, tracking whether dlopen/dlsym is used adds a cost to every symbol lookup, possibly making program startup slower for large programs. combined with the complexity, it's not worth it. we already save/recover plenty of memory in the dynamic linker with reclaim_gaps.
