debug: Improve '%n' fortify detection (BZ 30932)

The 7bb8045ec0 path made the '%n' fortify check ignore EMFILE errors
while trying to open /proc/self/maps, and this added a security
issue where EMFILE can be attacker-controlled thus making it
ineffective for some cases.

The EMFILE failure is reinstated but with a different error
message.  Also, to improve the false positive of the hardening for
the cases where no new files can be opened, the
_dl_readonly_area now uses  _dl_find_object to check if the
memory area is within a writable ELF segment.  The procfs method is
still used as fallback.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
