#8520: runtime loader should check elf headers for things like architecture.

Running a PowerPC BeOS binary under Haiku results in a generic failure
message such as:
* Could not find an application to open "XXX" (Invalid Argument)
Enhanced checks on binaries would be a nice feature. Example:
* Detecting running a binary for a non-compatible architecture.
* Detecting running pre-BeOS R5 binaries?
mmu mentioned adding B_BAD_IMAGE_ARCHITECTURE for arch failure checks and
maybe B_BAD_IMAGE_PLATFORM.
