Use file-based ELF update strategy if posix_fallocate is absent
The whole idea of extending the file and the mmap in place is rather
fragile and only works on rather specific setups. If we can't even extend
the file, we will likely not be able to extend the mapping that refers to
it, either. In that case we might still be able to write the formally
undefined memory behind the end of the file because the OS actually maps
whole pages, but that is an unspeakable horror.
The file based strategy is slower, but robust.
