Nick Kralevich 6625986f3a linker: initially reserved memory as PROT_NONE ...

When the dynamic linker loads a shared library into memory, it
initially allocates a chunk of memory. The memory is then carved
into smaller chunks for each LOAD region, and appropriate memory
protections applied.

Modify the initial memory allocation so that the pages are mapped
as PROT_NONE, rather than PROT_READ / PROT_EXEC. This ensures that
gaps between LOAD regions are not inadvertantly readable / executable.

(Long term, we should munmap() these gaps entirely)
