[RFC][PATCH] Rebase executable to match relocated base address

Windows executables linked with -dynamicbase get a new base address
when loaded, which makes debugging impossible if the executable isn't
also rebased in gdb.

solib_create_inferior_hook looked like the right place for rebasing,
since there is similar code in solib_aix_solib_create_inferior_hook
and darwin_solib_create_inferior_hook.

But I'm not at all sure about my approach to forward the image base
via auxv data, but I needed a solution that worked for gdbserver as well.

Also I just reused AT_ENTRY, which is not nice at all.
I guess a new define should be created (where?), and a new auxv print function
registered with set_gdbarch_print_auxv_entry, but since I'm not sure
if the auxv approach is even correct, I didn't bother with this (for now).
