[PATCH 07/28] elf: Implement ld.so --help

[Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>]

--help processing is deferred to the point where the executable has
been loaded, so that it is possible to eventually include information
from the main executable in the help output.

As suggested in the GNU command-line interface guidelines, the help
message is printed to standard output, and the exit status is
successful.

Handle usage errors closer to the GNU command-line interface
guidelines.
