[OE-core] [PATCH] glib-2.0: relocate the GIO module directory for native builds

Glib hard-codes the install path in search path for GIO modules, which causes
problems when glib-2.0-native is restored from sstate with a different build
directory.

In the future we should relocate symbols directly using the same system that the
eSDK uses, but for now use dladdr() to look up where the library was loaded from
to build the search path.

+Instead of hard-coding GIO_MODULE_PATH when glib is built, use dladdr() to
+determine where libglib.so is and use that path to calculate GIO_MODULES_DIR.
+
+This solves relocation problems with GIOModule for native builds of glib.
