elf: Correct absolute (SHN_ABS) symbol run-time calculation [BZ #19818]

Browse Source 
Do not relocate absolute symbols by the base address.  Such symbols have
SHN_ABS as the section index and their value is not supposed to be
affected by relocation as per the ELF gABI[1]:

"SHN_ABS
    The symbol has an absolute value that will not change because of
    relocation."

The reason for our non-conformance here seems to be an old SysV linker
bug causing symbols like _DYNAMIC to be incorrectly emitted as absolute
symbols[2].  However in a previous discussion it was pointed that this
is seriously flawed by preventing the lone purpose of the existence of
absolute symbols from being used[3]:

"On the contrary, the only interpretation that makes sense to me is that
it will not change because of relocation at link time or at load time.
Absolute symbols, from the days of the earliest linking loaders, have
been used to represent addresses that are outside the address space of
the module (e.g., memory-mapped addresses or kernel gateway pages).
They've even been used to represent true symbolic constants (e.g.,
system entry point numbers, sizes, version numbers).  There's no other
way to represent a true absolute symbol, while the meaning you seek is
easily represented by giving the symbol a non-negative st_shndx value."

and we ought to stop supporting our current broken interpretation.

Update processing for dladdr(3) and dladdr1(3) so that SHN_ABS symbols
are ignored, because under the corrected interpretation they do not
represent addresses within a mapped file and therefore are not supposed
to be considered.
