On s390, we would like to load our "BIOS" s390-ccw.img to the end of the
RAM. Therefor we need the possibility to relocate the ELF file so that
it can also run from different addresses. This patch adds the necessary
code to the QEMU ELF loader function.

Once upon a time, it was decided that qemu_realloc(ptr, 0) should
abort. Switching to glib retired that bright idea. A bit of code
that was added to cope with it (commit 3e372cf) is still around. Bury
it.

The existing load_elf() just returns -1 if it fails to load ELF. However
it could be smarter than this and tell more about the failure such as
wrong endianness or incompatible platform.
This adds additional return codes for wrong architecture, wrong
endianness and if the image is not ELF at all.
This adds a load_elf_strerror() helper to convert return codes into
string messages.
This fixes handling of what load_elf() returns for s390x, other
callers just check the return value for <0 and this remains unchanged.

Many of these should be cleaned up with proper qdev-/QOM-ification.
Right now there are many catch-all headers in include/hw/ARCH depending
on cpu.h, and this makes it necessary to compile these files per-target.
However, fixing this does not belong in these patches.
