The default `dyld_chained_import` entry format only allocates 8 bits to the library ordinal, of which values 0xF1 - 0xFF are reserved for special ordinals (`BIND_SPECIAL_DYLIB_*` values). If there are more than 240 imported dylibs (as in the case of component builds of Chromium), we need to switch to `dyld_chained_import_addend64`, which stores 16-bit ordinals.
