Some NFC changes to how we scan of kexts & kernels in memory in the
DynamicLoaderDarwinKernel plugin. Created a new function ReadMachHeader and instead of reading through the target cached memory reader, start by reading only a mach header sized chunk of memory, then check it for a valid mach-o magic # and use the size of the load commands to pre-fetch the entire load commands of the kext which is the only thing we're going to read, instead of letting the generic mach-o parser read it in 512 byte chunks. Functionally this is doing exactly the same thing as before, but by cutting down on the # of packets going back and forth, even on a local connection it's close to a quarter faster than it was before. <rdar://problem/38570146> llvm-svn: 334995
