LOG: [libclang] Fall back to getMainExecutable when dladdr fails

musl-libc doesn't support dladdr in statically linked binaries:

> Are you using static or dynamic linking? If static, dladdr is just a
> stub that always fails. It could be implemented to work under some
> conditions, but it would be highly dependent on what options you
> compile the binary with, since by default static binaries do not
> contain the bloat that would be needed to perform introspection.

Source: https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2013/01/15/25 (in response
to a bug report).

Libclang unfortunately uses dladdr to find the ResourcesPath so will
fail if it is linked statically on Alpine Linux. This patch fixes this
issue by falling back to getMainExecutable if dladdr returns an error.
