This effectively backs out bug 822584, which worked around a similar
problem to what we are facing with Android xpcshell, being that the
crash reporter doesn't handle the address space "fragmentation" induced
by elfhack. The work around worked, at the expense of some added
complexity.
It was used for B2G only, and has effectively been unused since B2G was
retired.

We treat segments overlapping as a fatal error, rather than a condition
to do nothing, because it happening is usually the result of some bad
assumptions on the input ELF, and we don't want to silently ignore
those.
However, there are cases where a setup /could/ lead to overlapping
segments, but would be skipped because elfhack wouldn't be a win
anyways. By checking segments overlap later, we allow those to not
hard fail.

lld is being too smart for its own good, and places non-relocatable data
right after the program headers, which prevents the program headers from
growing. But elfhack wasn't checking for that, so happily placed the
non-relocatable data at its non-relocated location, overwriting the last
item of the program headers.

The PT_PHDR segment is optional, but the Android toolchain decides to
create one in some cases, and places it first. When that happens, the
work around for bug 1233963 fails, because the fake phdr section has not
been adjusted yet (it only happens when we see a PT_LOAD).
So we adjust the fake phdr section when we see a PT_PHDR segment (and
avoid re-updating it when we see a subsequent PT_LOAD).
