 rts: fix build failure on OpenBSD (_DYNAMIC symbol collision)

 Summary:
 Build failure on OpenBSD-6.4 the the following:
 ```
 rts/RtsSymbols.c:994:1: error:
      error: redefinition of '_DYNAMIC' as different kind of symbol
     |
 994 | RTS_OPENBSD_ONLY_SYMBOLS
     | ^
 RTS_OPENBSD_ONLY_SYMBOLS
 ^
 ```

 On OpenBSD `_DYNAMIC` was always defined in `<elf.h>` headers
 but used not to be included.

 The change explicitly includes `<elf.h>` as a source of symbol definition.

 Signed-off-by: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox at gentoo.org>

 Test Plan: build-tested on OpenBSD-6.4
