libredirect: remove dlopen support

While it might be useful in some cases, there are too many caveats to be worth it.
When libredirect intercepts dlopen call and calls the original function, the dynamic
loader will use libredirect.so's DT_RUNPATH entry instead of the one from the ELF file
the dlopen call originated from. That means that when program tries to dlopen a library
that it expects to find on its RPATH, the call will fail.
This broke Sublime Text for just that reason.
