Subject: [PATCH 08/11] tools/libfsimage: Export a new function to preload all
 plugins

This is work required in order to let pygrub operate in highly deprivileged
chroot mode. This patch adds a function that preloads every plugin, hence
ensuring that a on function exit, every shared library is loaded in memory.

The new "init" function is supposed to be used before depriv, but that's
fine because it's not acting on untrusted data.

This is part of XSA-443 / CVE-2023-34325
