Adhemerval Zanella ed0c137b97 elf: Open the normalized $ORIGIN rpath in AT_SECURE programs (BZ 34360)
For AT_SECURE programs the loader honors $ORIGIN in DT_RPATH only when the
expansion is rooted in a trusted directory, but it validated the lexically
normalized path while opening the raw expansion.  As "a/b/../c" only names
"a/c" when "b" is not a symlink, an attacker who controls a component of
$ORIGIN -- e.g. by hard-linking the setuid binary into an attacker-owned
directory -- can make the opened path escape the trusted directory even
though the check passed, loading an attacker-controlled object.

Normalize the expansion in place and open that, so the path that is opened
is exactly the path that was validated.  _dl_normalize_path rewrites the
string in place without ever advancing its write cursor past its read
cursor or appending, so it stays within the original storage.

Add elf/tst-origin-secure as a regression test.
