elf: Don't cache symbol nor relocation tables with mmap
During a "-j 8" LLVM 17 debug build on a machine with 32GB RAM and 16GB
swap, ld was killed by kernel because of out of memory:
[79437.949336] oom-kill:constraint=CONSTRAINT_NONE,nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0,global_oom,task_memcg=/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-9.scope,task=ld,pid=797431,uid=1000
[79437.949349] Out of memory: Killed process 797431 (ld) total-vm:9219600kB, anon-rss:6558156kB, file-rss:1792kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:1000 pgtables:17552kB oom_score_adj:0
Don't cache symbol nor relocation tables if they are mapped in. Data to
link the 3.5GB clang executable in LLVM 17 debug build on Linux/x86-64
with 32GB RAM is:
stdio mmap improvement
user 86.73 87.02 -0.3%
system 9.55 9.21 3.6%
total 100.40 97.66 0.7%
maximum set(GB) 17.34 13.14 24%
page faults 4047667 3042877 25%
and data to link the 275M cc1plus executable in GCC 14 stage 1 build is:
user 5.41 5.44 -0.5%
system 0.80 0.76 5%
total 6.25 6.26 -0.2%
maximum set(MB) 1323 968 27%
page faults 323451 236371 27%
These improve the overall system performance for parallel build by
reducing memory usage and page faults.
Also rename _bfd_link_keep_memory to _bfd_elf_link_keep_memory. Since
the --no-keep-memory linker option causes:

this is opt-in by each backend.
