Fixed LD_PRELOAD bug by forcing the global symbol table load.

By default, python isn't putting the purple.so or any dependency symbols
(oh hey, like libpurple.so!) in the global symbol table when loading it.
LD_PRELOAD works because the loader loads all libpurple's symbols before
python can. Thanks for darkrain42 for the help!
