Add run-time check for indirect external access

When performing symbol lookup for references in executable without
indirect external access:

1. Disallow copy relocations in executable against protected data symbols
in a shared object with indirect external access.
2. Disallow non-zero symbol values of undefined function symbols in
executable, which are used as the function pointer, against protected
function symbols in a shared object with indirect external access.
