Subject: [PATCH 1/1] rtld: Implement DT_RUNPATH and -z nodefaultlib

DT_RUNPATH is incorrectly being considered as an alias of DT_RPATH.  The
purpose of DT_RUNPATH is to have two different types of rpath: one that
can be overridden by the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH and one that
can't.  With the currently implementation, LD_LIBRARY_PATH will always
trump any embedded rpath or runpath tags.

Current path search order by rtld:
==================================
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
DT_RPATH / DT_RUNPATH (always the same)
ldconfig hints file (default: /var/run/ld-elf.so.hints)
/usr/lib

New path search order by rtld:
==============================
DT_RPATH of the calling object if no DT_RUNPATH
DT_RPATH of the main binary if no DT_RUNPATH and binary isn't calling obj
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
DT_RUNPATH
ldconfig hints file
/usr/lib

The new path search matches how the linux runtime loader works.  The other
major added feature is support for linker flag "-z nodefaultlib".  When
this flag is passed to the linker, rtld will skip all references to the
standard library search path ("/usr/lib" in this case but it could handle
more color delimited paths) except in DT_RPATH and DT_RUNPATH.

New path search order by rtld with -z nodefaultlib flag set:
============================================================
DT_RPATH of the calling object if no DT_RUNPATH
DT_RPATH of the main binary if no DT_RUNPATH and binary isn't calling obj
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
DT_RUNPATH
ldconfig hints file (skips all references to /usr/lib)

FreeBSD notes:
- we fixed some bugs which were submitted to DragonFly and merged there
  as commit 1ff8a2bd3eb6e5587174c6a983303ea3a79e0002;
- we added LD_LIBRARY_PATH_RPATH environment variable to switch to
  the previous behaviour of considering DT_RPATH a synonym for DT_RUNPATH;
- the FreeBSD default search path is /lib:/usr/lib and not /usr/lib.
