/*
* Creates a link between namespaces. Every link has list of sonames of
* shared libraries. These are the libraries which are accessible from
* namespace 'from' but loaded within namespace 'to' context.
* When to namespace is nullptr this function establishes a link between
* 'from' namespace and the default namespace.
*
* The lookup order of the libraries in namespaces with links is following:
* 1. Look inside current namespace using 'this' namespace search path.
* 2. Look in linked namespaces
* 2.1. Perform soname check - if library soname is not in the list of shared
* libraries sonames skip this link, otherwise
* 2.2. Search library using linked namespace search path. Note that this
* step will not go deeper into linked namespaces for this library but
* will do so for DT_NEEDED libraries.
