mkimage segfaults due to the ASLR mechanism on MacOS arm64

It is required to use _dyld_get_image_vmaddr_slide()
to prevent segfault on MacOS arm64

This patch is based on the discussion
https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/commit/3b142045e8a7f0ab17b6099e9226296af45967d0

Thanks to Jessica Clarke, Ronny Kotzschmar and ptpt52 github user
