Dilum Aluthge 6097f13a76 Libdl: In Libdl.dlpath, throw an ArgumentError if the handle is C_NULL (#61307)
🤖 Discovered by Codex during an audit.

Other functions in Libdl (such as `Libdl.dlsym`) already include a check
for `C_NULL`. For example:


bc4bb7ae9a/base/libdl.jl (L59-L60)

So this PR adds a `C_NULL` check to `Libdl.dlpath`, and (similar to
`Libdl.dlsym`), throws an `ArgumentError`.

dlopen(libfile::AbstractString [, flags::Integer]; throw_error:Bool = true)
Load a shared library, returning an opaque handle.
The extension given by the constant `dlext` (`.so`, `.dll`, or `.dylib`)
can be omitted from the `libfile` string, as it is automatically appended
if needed. If `libfile` is not an absolute path name, then the paths
in the array `DL_LOAD_PATH` are searched for `libfile`, followed by the
system load path.
The optional flags argument is a bitwise-or of zero or more of `RTLD_LOCAL`, `RTLD_GLOBAL`,
`RTLD_LAZY`, `RTLD_NOW`, `RTLD_NODELETE`, `RTLD_NOLOAD`, `RTLD_DEEPBIND`, and `RTLD_FIRST`.
These are converted to the corresponding flags of the POSIX (and/or GNU libc and/or MacOS)
dlopen command, if possible, or are ignored if the specified functionality is not available
on the current platform. The default flags are platform specific. On MacOS the default
`dlopen` flags are `RTLD_LAZY|RTLD_DEEPBIND|RTLD_GLOBAL` while on other platforms the
defaults are `RTLD_LAZY|RTLD_DEEPBIND|RTLD_LOCAL`. An important usage of these flags is to
specify non default behavior for when the dynamic library loader binds library references to
exported symbols and if the bound references are put into process local or global scope. For
instance `RTLD_LAZY|RTLD_DEEPBIND|RTLD_GLOBAL` allows the library's symbols to be available
for usage in other shared libraries, addressing situations where there are dependencies
between shared libraries.
If the library cannot be found, this method throws an error, unless the keyword argument
`throw_error` is set to `false`, in which case this method returns `nothing`.
!!! note
From Julia 1.6 on, this method replaces paths starting with `@executable_path/` with
the path to the Julia executable, allowing for relocatable relative-path loads. In
Julia 1.5 and earlier, this only worked on macOS.

LazyLibrary(name; flags = <default dlopen flags>,
dependencies = LazyLibrary[], on_load_callback = nothing)
Represents a lazily-loaded shared library that delays loading itself and its dependencies
until first use in a `ccall()`, `@ccall`, `dlopen()`, `dlsym()`, `dlpath()`, or `cglobal()`.
This is a thread-safe mechanism for on-demand library initialization.
# Arguments
- `name`: Library name (or lazy path computation) as a `String`,
[`LazyLibraryPath`](@ref), or [`BundledLazyLibraryPath`](@ref).
- `flags`: Optional `dlopen` flags (default: `RTLD_LAZY | RTLD_DEEPBIND`). See [`dlopen`](@ref).
- `dependencies`: Vector of `LazyLibrary` object references to load before this one.
- `on_load_callback`: Optional function to run arbitrary code on first load (use sparingly,
as it is not expected that `ccall()` should result in large amounts of Julia code being run.
You may call `ccall()` from within the `on_load_callback` but only for the current library
and its dependencies, and user should not call `wait()` on any tasks within the on load
callback as they may deadlock).
The dlopen operation is thread-safe: only one thread loads the library, acquired after the
release store of the reference to each dependency from loading of each dependency. Other
tasks block until loading completes. The handle is then cached and reused for all subsequent
calls (there is no dlclose for lazy library and dlclose should not be called on the returned
handled).
