arm64 has execute-only memory (XOM) protecting code pages from being read.
PosixModule reads executable pages in order to extract module info. This
may result in a crash if the module is mapped as XOM.

This CL effectively disables ModuleCache on POSIX arm64 platforms.

Alternative solution would be to obtain map permissions before accessing
module's executable memory by parsing /proc/self/maps. Then, return
nullptr iff the mapping has execute-only protection.
