initialised too early when linked dynamically and doesn't have access to
it yet, so provide an alternative mechanism via ld.elf_so.
Bump libc minor.
_rtld_tls_allocate and _rtld_tls_free. libpthread uses this functions to
setup the thread private area of all new threads. ld.elf_so is
responsible for setting up the private area for the initial thread.
Similar functions are called from _libc_init for static binaries, using
dl_iterate_phdr to access the ELF Program Header.
Add test cases to exercise the different TLS storage models. Test cases
are compiled and installed on all platforms, but are skipped on
platforms not marked for TLS support.
This material is based upon work partially supported by
The NetBSD Foundation under a contract with Joerg Sonnenberger.
It is inspired by the TLS support in FreeBSD by Doug Rabson and the
clean ups of the DragonFly port of the original FreeBSD modifications.

In _rtld_bind, if the result is 0, call _rtld_die.
Initialize _rtld_sym_zero.st_value to -_rtld_objself.maprelocbase. Now when
the symbol is resolved, st_value + maprelocbase will equal 0 and the above
check in _rtld_bind will fire and a call to NULL will be avoided.
_rtld_find_symdef use _rtld_symlook_default.
This reduces the code size and means that dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT,...) has the
correct lookup order.

versions used by others in libc weak, so that we have:
name: weak
__name: weak
___name: strong
- Add __name strong aliases of the dlfcn names in ld.elf_so, so that we have:
name: strong
__name: strong
This allows ld.elf_so to self-resolve both the name and __name variants
of the dlfcn functions, the former being required for dlfcn support in
applications, the latter being required for dlfcn support in libc.

before referencing object's DAG. This makes it possible for
C++ exceptions to work across shared libraries.
Patch taken from FreeBSD: src/libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c: 1.67 -> 1.68,
committed there by kan@FreeBSD.org.
Previously dlsym resolved to the version in crt0.o or libc which would
mean that the caller's shared object couldn't be determined correctly
using __builtin_return_address(0).
Mainly from FreeBSD, but adapted by me. Benefits of this solutions are:
- backward comptibility maintained
- existing broken binaries are fixed with a new ld.elf_so
- __mainprog_obj can be removed from crt0.o
- we do the same thing as FreeBSD
Fixes PR 22067.

There are several optimizations here:
1) Objects on _rtld_list_main do not participate in the DAG structures
at all. This is okay because all symbols must be resolvable at
link/load time, and _rtld_list_main is always searched first, so
any references from those objects must necessarily be resolved to
other objects on _rtld_list_main.
(Making this work completely required setting obj->main a bit
earlier; hence the RTLD_MAIN hack.)
2) Objects on _rtld_list_main are not put on _rtld_list_global,
preventing an extra search.
3) A bit is used to keep track of whether an object is on
_rtld_list_global, so we don't have to do a silly linear search.
4) A small attempt is made to prevent objects being put on the DAG
lists multiple times (using a silly linear search).
The sum of this appears to be a ~10% (.3s) reduction in Mozilla's
startup time on my 800MHz box.
Also, make sure _rtld_objmain->path is always set, just to make the
debug output nicer.
* Rename _rtld_find_library() to _rtld_load_library(). It now calls
_rtld_load_object() if necessary to actually load the object, rather
than having the caller do it. To do this, it also takes the `mode'
argument that gets passed to _rtld_load_object().
* On a related note, remove _rtld_check_library(), and instead call
_rtld_load_object() to instead try actually loading the object. We
save two extra namei's and a bunch of redundant work (almost
literally the same code) this way.
* In _rtld_map_object(), mmap(2) the first page read-only, rather than
read(2)ing it.
* In _rtld_symlook_obj(), compare the *second* character of the symbol
name before calling strcmp(). (This first character is too
frequently `_', and turns out to not be helpful, in libc.)
* Also in _rtld_symlook_obj(), remove the bogus STT_FUNC special case
-- this also allows removing the `in_plt' argument to
_rtld_symlook_list() and _rtld_symlook_obj().
Also:
* In _rtld_obj_from_addr(), rather than trying to look up `_end' in
the each object, instead use obj->mapsize as the upper bound.
symbol' errors, probably because the increment gets interrupted occasionally by
a signal. In general, _rtld_bind() should not modify ANY internal state.
* Pass a symbol number to _rtld_find_symdef(), not a r_info.
* Don't try to do a symbol lookup when we find an unsupported relocation;
instead get the symbol name from the referencing object's strtab.
* Add preliminary support for `-z combreloc'-style startup optimization on
i386, `#ifdef COMBRELOC'.

- use SIMPLEQ_EMPTY() appropriately
- use SIMPLEQ_*() instead of accessing sqh_first,sqh_last,sqe_next directly
