Vasily Leonenko ad79d51778 [PR] Instrumentation: Generate and use _start and _fini trampolines
Summary:
This commit implements new method for _start & _fini functions hooking
which allows to use relative jumps for future PIE & .so library support.
Instead of using absolute address of _start & _fini functions known on
linking stage - we'll use dynamically created trampoline functions and
use corresponding symbols in instrumentation runtime library.

As we would like to use instrumentation for dynamically loaded binaries
(with PIE & .so), thus we need to compile instrumentation library with
"-fPIC" flag to support relative address resolution for functions and
data.

For shared libraries we need to handle initialization of instrumentation
library case by using DT_INIT section entry point.

Also this commit adds detection if the binary is executable or shared
library based on existence of PT_INTERP header. In case of shared
library we save information about real library init function address
for further usage for instrumentation library init trampoline function
creation and also update DT_INIT to point instrumentation library init
function.

Functions called from init/fini functions should be called with forced
stack alignment to avoid issues with instructions which relies on it.
E.g. optimized string operations.
