[COMMITTED] libelf: Make sure we have at least a full ELF header available.

When elf_memory is called we could get a slightly too small image
that doesn't contain a full ELF header (but does contain at least
the e_ident values). Require the full header before even validating
the rest of the ELF header fields.
