Summary:
- I noticed that the hello (ELF) application causes a memory leak.
- Finally, I found that the data section is not deallocated.
- This commit fixes this issue.
Impact:
- ELF loader with CONFIG_ARCH_ADDRENV=n
Testing:
- Tested with the following configs
- sprensense:elf, esp32-devkitc:elf, sabre-6quad:elf
- spresense:wifi_smp, rv-virt:nsh64, sabre-6quad:netnsh

Make use of XCHG/BSWAP on x86, REV16 and REV on ARMv6-m and above,
and whatever other optimized instructions on other platforms.
Defines extra CONFIG variables, and removes the unused functions for
endian-swapping. Fixes some oversights in using the macros.
Implement a generic access rights modification procedure instead
of the procedures that only do one thing (enable/disable write)
to one section (text).
When the .elf file is loaded from disk, the kernel must be given write
access to the allocated .text section in the task's address environment.
The access is removed after the elf is loaded and relocations are done.
NOTE:
The reason this works for the ARM implementation, is that the ARM MMU
can be configured to give write access for the privileged mode, but
revoke write access for the user mode.
Regardless, it would be smart to revoke write access even for the
kernel, when the kernel does not need it. This framework allows doing
that, if someone wishes to take up the task.
Using the Kconfig macro does not work for RISC-V target, as there the
user heap follows .data/.bss and does not obey any Kconfig provided
boundary.
Added stubs for ARM and Z80 also.
This keeps backwards compatibility with apps that do not provide
envp. The old implementation passes NULL always and this change fixes
any regression caused by it.
If address environments are in use, it is not possible to simply
memcpy from from one process to another. The current implementation
of env_dup does precisely this and thus, it fails at once when it is
attempted between two user processes.
The solution is to use the kernel's heap as an intermediate buffer.
This is a simple, effective and common way to do a fork().
Obviously this is not needed for kernel processes.
Summary:
- I noticed that the user heap is not initialized correctly
if BUILD_KERNEL=y and ADDRENV=y
- This commit fixes this issue
Impact:
- None
Testing:
- Tested with sabre-6quad:netknsh (not merged yet)

Basically, mirror the following two commits from modlib.
It's shame we have two copies of elf loaders.

modlib: Implement sh_addralign handling
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)

modlib: Always use separate allocation for text and data
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
```
since the standard require the caller pass the name explicitly
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/posix_spawn.html:
The argument argv is an array of character pointers to null-terminated strings.
The last member of this array shall be a null pointer and is not counted in argc.
These strings constitute the argument list available to the new process image.
The value in argv[0] should point to a filename that is associated with the
process image being started by the posix_spawn() or posix_spawnp() function.

elf_init open a elf file , if both enabled
CONFIG_NSH_BUIlTAPPS and CONFIG_NSH_FILE_APPS ,
elf_init will read elf file in /bin directory, but
that length is zero , elf_read failed return and NOT
close elf fd, so this line MUST be return to errout_with_init
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.
