applet_tables: save space by removing applet name offsets

The array applet_nameofs consumes two bytes per applet.  It encodes

   nofork/noexec flags
   suid flags
   the offset of the applet name in the applet_name string

Change the applet_table build tool to store the flags in two separate
arrays (applet_flags and applet_suid).  Replace applet_nameofs[] with a
smaller version that only stores a limited number of offsets.

This requires changes to the macros APPLET_IS_NOFORK, APPLET_IS_NOEXEC
and APPLET_SUID.

   According to Valgrind the original find_applet_by_name required
   353 cycles per call, averaged over all names.  Adjusting the number
   of known offsets allows space to be traded off against execution time:

      KNOWN_OFFSETS     cycles     bytes (wrt KNOWN_OFFSETS = 0)

           0             9057        -
           2             4604       32
           4             2407       75
           8             1342       98
          16              908      130
          32              884      194

   This patch uses KNOWN_OFFSETS = 8.

v2:
   Remove some dead code from the applet_table tool;
   Treat the applet in the middle of the table as a special case.

v3:
   Use the middle applet to adjust the start of the linear search as
   well as the last applet found.

v4:
   Use an augmented linear search in find_applet_by_name.
   Drop the special treatment of the middle name from get_applet_name:
   most of the advantage now derives from the last stored value.

v5:
   Don't store index in applet_nameofs, it can be calculated.

v6:
