1991538 - Adjust conventional loader for when Zygote preloading is enabled

We likely need an adjustment at loadGeckoLibs for Zygote preloading.

It does not appear to double allocate, but we should see if we can add a skip here with Zygote app preloading or at least 100% confirm with either a manual or automated test that no double allocation occurs.

:kaya, mentioned skipping loadGeckoLibs and not having luck with it, but has not seen a double allocation (possibly the system/compiler is smart enough to prevent it).

I talked to :tcampbell and double allocation (init from app zygote and init from loadGeckoLibs) is short-circuited by the OS and won't happen. So, this bug is just focusing on if we can do anything else in loadGeckoLibs that makes sense for app zygote preloading.
