4688279db5 Clean up the linker a bit, remove prelinking support.
Also make the errors more readable, since none of us seemed to know
what they actually meant. The new style is still as verbose as the
old, but that's probably necessary in the absence of chained exceptions
in C. Here's what you'd see if you try to boot after removing
libsurfaceflinger.so:

  32267 32267 E AndroidRuntime: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load library: (linker.c:1629, pid 32259) soinfo_link_image: could not load library "libsystem_server.so" needed by "libandroid_servers.so"; caused by (linker.c:1629, pid 32259) soinfo_link_image: could not load library "libsurfaceflinger.so" needed by "libsystem_server.so"; caused by (linker.c:709, pid 32259) load_library: library "libsurfaceflinger.so" not found

This patch also fixes almost all of the compiler warnings.

c1bd559d5b linker: New sources to manage the ELF program header table.
This patch introduces two new source files containing a set of functions
to manage the program header table in an ELF binary, including the ability
to load PT_LOAD segments, and apply PT_GNU_RELRO protection.

Note: the files are not used currently, this will appear in a series
      of future patches that will gradually modify linker.c to use
      the phdr_table_xxx functions properly.
