binfmt_elf: Use elf_load() for library

Browse source

While load_elf_library() is a libc5-ism, we can still replace most of
its contents with elf_load() as well, further simplifying the code.

Some historical context:
- libc4 was a.out and used uselib (a.out support has been removed)
- libc5 was ELF and used uselib (there may still be users)
- libc6 is ELF and has never used uselib
