Dan Willemsen c77a0b3f9c Extract the linker and embed it into host bionic binaries
The linux kernel requires that the ELF interpreter (runtime linker)
that's referenced by PT_INTERP be either an absolute path, or a relative
path from the current working directory. We'd prefer a relative path
from the binary, similarly to how we handle looking up shared libraries,
but that's not supported.

Instead, extract the load sections from the runtime linker ELF binary
and embed them into each host bionic binary, omitting the PT_INTERP
declaration. The kernel will treat it as a static binary, and we'll use
a special entry point (linker_wrapper) to fix up the arguments passed by
the kernel before jumping to the embedded linker. From the linker's
point of view, it looks like the kernel loaded the linker like normal.
