Elf: add livepatch-specific Elf constants
Livepatch manages its own relocation sections and symbols in order to be
able to reuse module loader code to write relocations. This removes
livepatch's dependence on separate "dynrela" sections to write relocations
and also allows livepatch to patch modules that are not yet loaded.
The livepatch Elf relocation section flag (SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH),
and symbol section index (SHN_LIVEPATCH) allow both livepatch and the
module loader to identity livepatch relocation sections and livepatch
symbols.
Livepatch relocation sections are marked with SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH to
indicate to the module loader that it should not apply that relocation
section and that livepatch will handle them.
The SHN_LIVEPATCH shndx marks symbols that will be resolved by livepatch.
The module loader ignores these symbols and does not attempt to resolve
them.
The values of these Elf constants were selected from OS-specific
ranges according to the definitions from glibc.
