particular on ARM, do require working init arrays.
Traditional FreeBSD crt1 calls _init and _fini of the binary, instead
of allowing runtime linker to arrange the calls. This was probably
done to have the same crt code serve both statically and dynamically
linked binaries. Since ABI mandates that first is called preinit
array functions, then init, and then init array functions, the init
have to be called from rtld now.
To provide binary compatibility to old FreeBSD crt1, which calls _init
itself, rtld only calls intializers and finalizers for main binary if
binary has a note indicating that new crt was used for linking. Add
parsing of ELF notes to rtld, and cache p_osrel value since we parsed
it anyway.
The patch is inspired by init_array support for DragonflyBSD, written
by John Marino.

and symbol map are required to support various consequences of the dot
symbol scheme:
- Symbols beginning with a dot are reserved, so start private symbols with
an underscore.
- In order to set RTLD breakpoints, gdb must be able to locate the text
entry point, not the data section function descriptor, so add
.r_debug_state to the symbol map on powerpc64.
