rS337045: libelf: reload section headers after update with ELF_C_WRITE
Summary

The libelf library in base doesn't reload section headers after clearing them when performing an elf_update with ELF_C_WRITE. This is because it fails to clear a flag indicating that the section headers have been loaded.

I pinged @kaiw by email requesting a look at this change.

Background on this (and the other related change): I ran into both issues implementing signelf. They caused anomalous bugs, and I tracked them down and fixed them. So they're definitely issues, and the fixes definitely work.
