Add livepatch Elf relocation section flag (SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH), and symbol
section index (SHN_LIVEPATCH). The values of these Elf constants were
selected from OS-specific ranges according to the definitions from glibc.
Livepatch relocation sections are marked with SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH to
indicate to the module loader that it should not apply that relocation
section and that livepatch will handle them.
The SHN_LIVEPATCH shndx marks symbols that will be resolved by livepatch.
The module loader ignores these symbols and does not attempt to resolve
them.
