A small improvement to `RawNativeLibraries`.   `RawNativeLibraries::load` 
returns the same `NativeLibrary` instance of a given path if it's called 
multiple times. This means that multiple clients have to coordinate that the 
last one using the loaded library is the one to close the library by calling 
`RawNativeLibraries::unload`; otherwise, an exception may be thrown.

This patch changes `RawNativeLibraries::load` to delegate to the underlying 
platform-specific library loading mechanism e.g. dlopen/dlclose that keeps the 
reference count.  So each call to `RawNativeLibraries::load` and `unload` is 
simply a call to dlopen and dlclose respectively.  Each client of calling 
`RawNativeLibraries::load` is responsible for calling 
`RawNativeLibraries::unload`.  This will be consistent with the current 
behavior when you call `load` and `unload` with a different 
`RawNativeLibraries` instance.
