libproc previously created a new handle for each symbol lookup, which
gives rather egregious performance for DTrace's ustack() action. With
this change libproc will cache the libelf descriptor upon access, making
lookups much faster in the common case.
This is used by libdtrace to determine the data model of target processes.
This allows for the creation of pid provider probes in 32-bit processes on
amd64.
