Pros:
* Reduce code differences
* Smaller allocations for !CONFIG_ARCH_USE_MODULE_TEXT
Cons:
* Likely to use more memory for !CONFIG_ARCH_USE_MODULE_TEXT in total
Tested with:
* sim:module on macOS
* esp32-devkit:nsh + CONFIG_MODULE on qemu
* lm3s6965-ek:qemu-protected + CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SOTEST on qemu
I've seen a module with 16 bytes .rodata alignment for xmm operations.
It was getting SEGV on sim/Linux because of the alignment issue.
The same module binary seems working fine after applying this patch.
Also, tested on sim/macOS and esp32 on qemu,
using a module with an artificially large alignment. (64 bytes)
When CONFIG_SYMTAB_ORDEREDBYNAME is selected most code will use
the ordered search function. When it is not selected no code will
use the ordered search function. This change merges the two
functions and varies its behaviour based on the config setting,
such that all callers can simply call the one search function
and get the best behaviour.
An additional configuration option allows leading underscores to
be stripped from symbols being relocated in loaded objects. This
allows toolchains which prefix C symbol with underscores to make
loadable ELF objects.

* include: Introduce elf64.h and elf.h
Added elf64.h for 64bit ELF support and moved common definitions
from elf32.h to elf.h. Also introduced Elf_xxx to be used in
common libraries such as binfmt.
* binfmt, include, modlib, module: Add support for ELF64
Elf_xxx must be used instead of Elf32_xxx to support ELF64.
To use ELF64, CONFIG_ELF_64BIT must be enabled.
* binfmt, modlib: Add support for relocate address
* arch: risc-v: Add include/elf.h
* libs: machine: Add risc-v related files.
NOTE: Currently only supports ELF64
* boards: maix-bit: Add elf and posix_spawn configurations
* boards: maix-bit: Add support for module configuration
* Simplify EINTR/ECANCEL error handling
1. Add semaphore uninterruptible wait function
2 .Replace semaphore wait loop with a single uninterruptible wait
3. Replace all sem_xxx to nxsem_xxx
* Unify the void cast usage
1. Remove void cast for function because many place ignore the returned value witout cast
2. Replace void cast for variable with UNUSED macro
1. Move exepath_*() related code to libc/misc
1. Rename exepath_ to envpath_
2. Rename BINFMT_EXEPATH to LIB_ENVPATH
libs/libc/modlib: Add pre module library symbol table support
many locations: Change occurences of open() followed by file_detach() to file_open(). Change most non-controversion calls to open() to nx_open().
fs/inode/fs_fileopen.c: Flesh out file_open() with some interim, placeholder logic.
fs/inode/fs_fileopen.c: Add a framework for a file_open() implementation (no real logic in place yet).
fs/vfs/fs_open.c: Add nx_open() which is the same as open() except that it does not create a cancellation point nor does it modify the errno variable.
Squashed commit of the following:
libs/libxx: Fix some confusing in naming. If the directory is called libxx, then the library must be libxx.a (unless perhaps LIBCXX is selected).
libs/: Fix paths in moved library directories.
libs: Brute force move of libc, libnx, and libxx to libs. Cannot yet build it in that configuration.
