check if an executable is dynamic and die if it is

Only implemented for ELf. Someone might want to implement it for ecoff and some point

src/base/loader/elf_object.cc:
src/base/loader/elf_object.hh:
src/base/loader/object_file.cc:
src/base/loader/object_file.hh:
    add a function to check if an executable is dynamic
src/sim/process.cc:
