libobjc: Call __objc_resolve_class_links() at the end of __objc_exec_class()

["Nicola Pero" <nicola dot pero at meta-innovation dot com>]

This patch fixes the fact that libobjc wouldn't resolve class links automatically
after loading new modules ("class links" mean the class-to-superclass pointers).

Hopefully this patch means that gnustep-base, which currently calls __objc_resolve_class_links()
manually after loading a bundle, no longer needs to do it, and __objc_resolve_class_links()
can become the private function it is supposed to be. ;-)

Committed to trunk.

Thanks
