elf-loader: add more return codes
The existing load_elf() just returns -1 if it fails to load ELF. However it could be smarter than this and tell more about the failure such as wrong endianness or incompatible platform. This adds additional return codes for wrong architecture, wrong endianness and if the image is not ELF at all. This adds a load_elf_strerror() helper to convert return codes into string messages. This fixes handling of what load_elf() returns for s390x, other callers just check the return value for <0 and this remains unchanged.
