Don't use dlopen() for libebl modules
Currently, architecture-specific code for libebl exists in separate libebl_$ARCH.so libraries which libebl loads with dlopen() at runtime. This makes it impossible to have standalone, statically-linked binaries which use libdwfl if they depend on any architecture-specific functionality. Additionally, when these libraries cannot be found, the failure modes are non-obvious. So, let's get rid of libebl_$arch.so and move it all into libdw.so/libdw.a, which simplifies things considerably. Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>
