Enhance mapped memory regions used by process to get dylib path out of dyld shared cache file

OS X support for mapped memory regions used by process added in Issue 260 is in 
need of a final enhancement that will parse the actual dylib filename/path out 
of the dyld shared cache map file.  Right now, any dylib that is loaded from 
the OS X dyld shared cache reports the path to the dyld shared cache file 
instead of the actual dylib that was requested to be loaded.  To do this, based 
on conversations with experienced mach kernel developers, we will need to parse 
the dyld_shared_cache_*.map file to find the real dylib path.
