Fix ldconfig segmentation fault with corrupted cache (Bug 18093).
ldconfig is using an aux-cache to speed up the ld.so.cache update. It is read by mmaping the file to a structure which contains data offsets used as pointers. As they are not checked, it is not hard to get ldconfig to segfault with a corrupted file. This happens for instance if the file is truncated, which is common following a filesystem check following a system crash. This can be reproduced for example by truncating the file to roughly half of it's size. There is already some code in elf/cache.c (load_aux_cache) to check for a corrupted aux cache, but it happens to be broken and not enough. The test (aux_cache->nlibs >= aux_cache_size) compares the number of libs entry with the cache size. It's a non sense, as it basically assumes that each library entry is a 1 byte... Instead this commit computes the theoretical cache size using the headers and compares it to the real size.
