[RFC][PATCH v6 11/20] Compare loaded DSOs by file ID and check for DF_GNU_1_UNIQUE

If _dl_map_object_from_fd finds that a DSO it was asked to
load into a non-base namespace is already loaded (into the
main namespace) and is flagged DF_GNU_1_UNIQUE then it should
return that DSO's link map entry.

In such cases _dl_open_worker must notice that this has
happened and dontinue down the link map proxy generation
path instead of normal link map entry preparation.
