    PR23254, ld.bfd mishandles file pointers while scanning archive

    Best practice is to not mix lseek/read with fseek/fread on the same
    underlying file descriptor, as not all stdio implementations will cope.
    Since the plugin uses lseek/read while bfd uses fseek/fread this patch
    reopens the file for exclusive use by the plugin rather than trying to
    restore the file descriptor.  That allows the plugin to read the file
    after plugin_call_claim_file too.
