Subject: eal: handle long shared library path

This commit replaces a fixed-size buffer for shared library paths with
dynamic allocation using asprintf() to prevent potential buffer
truncation when concatenating paths.

Can this code handle the case where asprintf sets sopath to an
undefined value on allocation failure? The POSIX specification allows
sopath to be undefined after a failed asprintf call, but the code later
calls free(sopath) which could be problematic.
