linker: Do not store entire ELF in memory when writing to a file.
This reduces the amount of memory that needs to be allocated while writing the ELF file to disk. Note: We're abusing #:page-aligned? in 'link-elf' to choose whether to return a bytevector or a procedure. * module/system/vm/linker.scm (process-reloc): Subtract SECTION-OFFSET when writing to BV. (write-linker-object): Pass BV directly to the linker object writer. (link-elf): When PAGE-ALIGNED? is false, call 'bytevector-slice' from here. When it is true, return a procedure that takes a port and writes to it, without having to allocate a bytevector for the whole ELF container. * module/language/bytecode/spec.scm (bytecode->value): Handle X being a procedure instead of a bytevector. (bytecode) <#:printer>: Likewise. * test-suite/tests/linker.test (link-elf-with-one-main-section): Pass #:page-aligned? #f.
