Add flags and a file descriptor to android_dlopen_ext() to allow writing
the RELRO section of the loaded library to a file after relocation
processing, and to allow mapping identical pages from the file over the
top of relocated memory in another process. Explicitly comparing the
pages is required in case a page contains a reference to a symbol
defined in another library loaded at a random base address.

Add flags and parameters to android_dlopen_ext() to allow loading a
library at an already-reserved fixed address. If the library to be
loaded will not fit within the space reserved, then the linker will
either fail, or allocate its own address space as usual, according to
which flag has been specified. This behaviour only applies to the
specific library requested; any other libraries loaded as dependencies
will be loaded in the normal fashion.
There is a new gtest included to cover the functionality added.

Add a function "android_dlopen_ext()", defined in <android/dlext.h>.
This is an extended version of dlopen() which takes a struct for passing
additional parameters for Android-specific functionality. This will be
used to support RELRO section sharing between separate processes.
