The compiler machinery that generates "map.zero" symbols marks them as RODATA and DUPOK, which is problematic when a given application has multiple map zero symbols (from different packages) with varying sizes: the dupok path in the loader assumes that if two symbols have the same name, it is safe to pick any of the versions. In the case of map.zero, the link needs to select the largest symbol, not an arbitrary sym. This patch changes the linker's dupok symbol loading path to detect this problem, and in situations where we're loading a dupok symbol whose name is the same as an existing symbol but whose size is large, select the new dup over the old. Note: this fix differs from the one used in 1.16/1.17, which uses content-addressable symbols instead. Fixes #46656.
