Delay setting linker soname until post-reloc and post-ctor
Setting the linker's soname ("ld-android.so") can allocate heap memory
now that the name uses an std::string, and it's probably a good idea to
defer doing this until after the linker has relocated itself (and after
it has called C++ constructors for global variables.)
Bug: none
Test: bionic unit tests
Test: verify that dlopen("ld-android.so", RTLD_NOLOAD) works
