scripts/populate: optimise search loop

Curently, populate will iterate over all ELF (shared objects|executables)
to look for missing NEEDED DSOs, adding to the list at every iterations
of the search loop.

Instead of looking again at previously handled ELF files, recursively
resolve every ELf files.

Also, in case there are a whole lot of files (more than the shell can
accept as arguments list, or creating a command line longer than the
shell can cope with), use a temporary file with the list of files
to search for missing dependencies.

    15       Buildroot version, forked off the original from ELFkickers.  This one
    16       is somewhat maintained by the buildroot guys.   
    17       Supports big-endian systems.
