os: depend on Readlink only when necessary

Currently Readlink gets linked into the binary even when Executable is
not needed.

This reduces a simple "os.Stdout.Write([]byte("hello"))" by ~10KiB.

Previously the executable path was read during init time, because
deleting the executable would make "Readlink" return "(deleted)" suffix.
There's probably a slight chance that the init time reading would return
it anyways.

Updates #6853
