I haven't got my head around whether we must move some of the arm64
logic from arch_elf_adjust_proc() to arch_parse_elf_properties(), but
either way, it would make sense to explain the direction of travel here.

(This may just be me failing to keep track of what's changing -- the
affected logic is retained for bisectability here and then dropped later
on in the series...)

It's a little annoying that we add has_interp all over the place only to
remove it again later, but I guess that may be the simplest way to keep
things bisectable while moving logic around.  If so, I don't have a
strong opinion on it.

Nit: interpreter != NULL?

(I guess it works as-is, but from the way this is written it looks a
little like we intend parse_elf_properties() to examine / modify
*interpreter, which is not the case.
