check-uapi: link into shared objects

While testing ABI changes across all architectures, I found that abidiff
sometimes produces nonsensical output. Further debugging identified
missing or broken libelf support for architecture specific relocations
in ET_REL binaries as the source of the problem[1].

Change the script to no longer produce a relocatable object file but
instead create a shared library for each header. This makes abidiff
work for all of the architectures in upstream linux kernels.
