Redesign the dynamic linking on ELF systems

This ticket is to follow up on my comment on #11042 (closed).

Let's give dynamic linking on ELF systems a second chance.

I propose the following steps:

  1. Collect required features
  2. Write up and discuss and agree on a specification
  3. Create regression tests for all features
  4. Design and implement a new dynamic linker for GHCi
  5. (optional) Make it work on Mac OS X too
