Add android_dlopen_ext() interface to linker.
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.
