Loader.so+LibELF: Introduce "_LOADER_BREAKPOINT" environment variable

If set, the dynamic loader will perform a software breakpoint after
loading all libraries, and just before jumping to the main entry point.

This allows a debugger to inspect the loaded libraries before the
program starts executing.
