elf: Introduce _dl_map_segment_align hook for segment alignment tuning

Introduce a new helper function, _dl_map_segment_align, to allow
architecture-specific adjustment of ELF load segment alignment during
object mapping.

The generic ELF loader now calls this hook when determining the maximum
segment alignment.  The generic implementation is a no-op and preserves
existing behavior.

This provides a well-defined extension point for architectures that
need to adjust segment alignment policies (for example, to improve
mapping efficiency or enable platform-specific optimizations) without
embedding such logic directly in the generic loader.
