Build all binaries with the
.Dv DF_BIND_NOW
flag set to indicate that the run-time loader should perform all relocation
processing at process startup rather than on demand.
Add a WITH_BIND_NOW build knob The linker's -z now flag sets the DF_BIND_NOW flag, which signals to the runtime loader that all relocation processing should be performed at process startup rather than on demand. In combination with lld's default of enabling relro this causes the GOT to be made read-only when the process starts, preventing straightforward GOT overwrite attacks. Shawn Webb discovered a failure on HardenedBSD with BIND_NOW and ifunc use, which resulted in my rtld fix in r340137. Add a BIND_NOW knob as it is trivial to do so and is a useful ELF hardening feature. This change is equivalent to HardenedBSD's but not identical as there are other diffs/conflicts nearby. Note that our ELF Tool Chain readelf does not currently decode the DF_BIND_NOW flag - see PR232983.
