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.
