This change creates a link map in static executables to serve as the
global search list for dlopen. It fixes a problem with the inability
to access the global symbol object and a crash on an attempt to map a
DSO into the global scope. Some code that has become dead after the
addition of this link map is removed too and test cases are provided.

Resolves: #15465
The program name may be unavailable if the user application tampers
with argc and argv[]. Some parts of the dynamic linker caters for
this while others don't, so this patch consolidates the check and
fallback into a single macro and updates all users.

In dl-hwcaps.c the comment read that rounding was done
to ElfW(Addr), but it's actually rounded to ElfW(Word).
In ldconfig.c we make each comment a sentence and
mention that the "tls" pseudo-hwcap is just for legacy
installations where TLS was optional.

* elf/ldconfig.c (is_hwcap_platform): Make comments full setences.
(main): Mention "tls" pseudo-hwcap is legacy.
* elf/dl-hwcaps.c (_dl_important_hwcaps): Correct rounding comment.

Loading of the vDSO pseudo-hwcap from the type 2 GNU note is
a rather arcane and poorly documented process. Given that I had
a chance to review this code today I thought I would add all
of the things I had to lookup to verify the validity of the
process.
With a single .note.GNU the vDSO can register up to 64 flags,
though in practice you are limited to 64 - _DL_FIRST_EXTRA
bits which on x86 is 12 bits.
The only use of this that I know of is in the Xen support
in Linux where they use the 1st bit to indicate "nosegneg".
I see "We use bit 1 to avoid bugs in some versions of glibc
when bit 0 is used; the choice is otherwise arbitrary.", but
no reference to a glibc bug anywhere. The code as-is should
support bit zero, so we still have that free for future use.
The kernel, glibc, and ld.so.cache must coordinate to ensure
that bit values don't go too high and are used consistently.

This ensures reliable operation on file systems with inode numbers
which do not fit into 32 bits.

The algorithm for scanning dependencies upon dlclose is
less than immediately obvious. This patch adds two bits
of comments that explain why you start the dependency
search at l_initfini[1], and why you need to restart
the search.

The seen array was doubled in size recently, but the memset to clear
the array was not adjusted. We adjust the memset to always be correct
regardless of the size of seen.

[BZ #15309]

These prototypes are duplicated in many places. Add a dedicated
header for holding prototypes for program-specific functions to
avoid that.

Calling _dl_load_cache_lookup will load the cache if not already.
If loading the cache fails no more attempts will be made to load
the cache.

ARM now supports loading unmarked objects from
the dynamic loader cache. Unmarked objects can
be used with the hard-float or soft-float ABI.
We must support loading unmarked objects during
the transition period from a binutils that does
not mark objects to one that does mark them with
the correct ELF flags.
