The trick of using a static variable initialized with an address to obtain the pre-relocated address no longer appears to work on Rust nightly, so replace it with code that reads the static start address out of the `e_start` field of the executable's ELF header. This is less "sneaky", so it should be more robust against compiler changes. And, fix the 32-bit x86 relocation code and re-enable all the tests on x86.
