New ld.so argument --inhibit-ldcache to disable ld.so.cache lookup
It may sometimes be desirable to make the dynamic linker only pick up libraries from the library path and rpath and not look at the ld.so.cache that ldconfig generates. An example of such a use case is the glibc testsuite where the dynamic linker must not be influenced by any external paths or caches. This change adds a new option --inhibit-ldcache that when used, tells the dynamic linker to not use ld.so.cache even if it is available.
