Introduce guest mem offset, static link example launcher

In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give
the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the
Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0.

The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with
simple additions.
