Allow object files to be included in images #715

We currently allow static libs to be included in images. We should allow object files as well, in case a library contains object files instead of static libs. This allows e.g. nd4j/dl4j to be used on iOS (provided a fix for https://github.com/eclipse/deeplearning4j/issues/8709).

While we currently only have cases for this for iOS, I believe allowing to bundle object files at linktime is useful in general.

Including the ubiquitous SQLite database might be another important use case.
