Subject: [PATCH] Fix globalSymbols support on POSIX (#26082)

## Fix `globalSymbols` support on POSIX

### Summary

Fix `-d:globalSymbols` on POSIX platforms by defining `RTLD_GLOBAL`
alongside `RTLD_NOW` in `system/dyncalls.nim`.

On Linux and macOS, `RTLD_NOW` is defined locally in `dyncalls.nim`, but
`RTLD_GLOBAL` was not. As a result, enabling `-d:globalSymbols` could
fail because `RTLD_GLOBAL` was undeclared.

This change:

* defines `RTLD_GLOBAL` as `0x100` on Linux,
* defines `RTLD_GLOBAL` as `0x8` on macOS,
* imports `RTLD_GLOBAL` from `<dlfcn.h>` on other POSIX platforms.

These values are consistent with the existing POSIX constants already
used elsewhere in the Nim source tree.

### Motivation

`globalSymbols` is intended to load dynamic libraries with `RTLD_GLOBAL`
so that their exported symbols are available to subsequently loaded
shared libraries.

This is needed, for example, when a dynamically loaded library later
loads a plugin or provider that depends on symbols from the first
library.

Without this fix, `-d:globalSymbols` cannot be used reliably for that
purpose on POSIX systems.

### Testing

Tested on Linux with an AArch64 target.

A program using dynamically loaded OpenSSL libraries and a subsequently
loaded OpenSSL provider failed when the OpenSSL libraries were loaded
with the default local symbol visibility.

Using `RTLD_GLOBAL` made the same program work correctly.

After this change, building the original Nim program with:

```text
-d:globalSymbols
```

successfully loads the OpenSSL libraries with global symbol visibility,
and the provider-based TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 tests both pass.

The same behavior was also independently reproduced using direct
`dlopen()` / `dlsym()` calls:

```text
RTLD_LOCAL   -> TLS 1.2 failed
RTLD_GLOBAL  -> TLS 1.2 passed
```
