We were previously dlopen-ing it in the load() method. This is very
early and in particular means that the only possible way to configure
where we find the library is through environment variables and not
through config parameters. Also it's not necessary as we don't call
any functions from the library (such as VixDiskLib_InitEx) until
config_complete.
This change is neutral refactoring as currently we _do_ configure the
location through an environment variable (LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
