module: prepare to handle ROX allocations for text

In order to support ROX allocations for module text, it is necessary to
handle modifications to the code, such as relocations and alternatives
patching, without write access to that memory.

One option is to use text patching, but this would make module loading
extremely slow and will expose executable code that is not finally formed.

A better way is to have memory allocated with ROX permissions contain
invalid instructions and keep a writable, but not executable copy of the
module text.  The relocations and alternative patches would be done on the
writable copy using the addresses of the ROX memory.  Once the module is
completely ready, the updated text will be copied to ROX memory using text
patching in one go and the writable copy will be freed.

Add support for that to module initialization code and provide necessary
interfaces in execmem.
