fablevoid 1b865fc3ea fix(relinker): pass module start arguments to macOS guest initializers
The macOS image initializer called a guest module's DT_INIT with no
arguments, so a module started with sceKernelLoadStartModule never saw
its args and argp, and its result was dropped. The Linux writer already
calls DT_INIT through libkernel's pending argument handoff. On the
macOS port, the PSN plugin of PPSA12544 refuses to start without its
argument block ("PSN is an old version that cannot be used by the
current player runtime") and the title then crashes.

A guest module with DT_INIT now gets two slots bound to
__aps5_get_pending_module_args_nid_no_patch and
__aps5_set_module_init_result_nid_no_patch, and its initializer calls
DT_INIT with the args and argp that sceKernelLoadStartModule records,
as on Linux, then hands the result back. The TechnicalDebt sentence
about the missing arguments on macOS is removed.

guest_module_args also relinks its fixture with --macos and checks the
two binds; on x86-64 macOS it loads the module and checks that DT_INIT
receives the arguments and that its result is returned.
