mte_supported() lets code efficiently detect the presence of MTE, and
ScopedDisableMTE lets code disable MTE RAII-style in a particular region
of code.

Using ifuncs allows the linker to select faster versions of libc functions
like strcmp, making linking faster.
The linker continues to first initialize TLS, then call the ifunc
resolvers. There are small amounts of code in Bionic that need to avoid
calling functions selected using ifuncs (generally string.h APIs). I've
tried to compile those pieces with -ffreestanding. Maybe it's unnecessary,
but maybe it could help avoid compiler-inserted memset calls, and maybe
it will be useful later on.
The ifuncs are called in a special early pass using special
__rel[a]_iplt_start / __rel[a]_iplt_end symbols. The linker will encounter
the ifuncs again as R_*_IRELATIVE dynamic relocations, so they're skipped
on the second pass.
Break linker_main.cpp into its own liblinker_main library so it can be
compiled with -ffreestanding.
On walleye, this change fixes a recent 2.3% linker64 start-up time
regression (156.6ms -> 160.2ms), but it also helps the 32-bit time by
about 1.9% on the same benchmark. I'm measuring the run-time using a
synthetic benchmark based on loading libandroid_servers.so.

(cherry picked from commit 772bcbb0c2)
Make getauxval() work in .preinit_array. It still won't be usable for
ifuncs unless we can guarantee that the __loader_shared_globals relocation
is resolved before the ifunc calls [__bionic_]getauxval.
Define __bionic_getauxval for use in replacing calls to
KernelArgumentBlock::getauxval, which doesn't (and sometimes isn't allowed
to) access TLS variables like errno.

(cherry picked from commit bdab4a2b97)
Bionic's getauxval(...) implementation returns zero when entries are
missing. Zero can be a valid value, so there is no unambiguous way of
detecting an error. Since glibc 2.19, errno is set to ENOENT when an
entry is missing to make it possible to detect this. Bionic should match
this behavior as code in the Linux ecosystem will start relying on it to
check for the presence of newly added entries.

Remove the linker's reliance on BSD cruft and use the glibc-style
ElfW macro. (Other code too, but the linker contains the majority
of the code that needs to work for Elf32 and Elf64.)
All platforms need dl_iterate_phdr_static, so it doesn't make sense
to have that part of the per-architecture configuration.

There's now only one place where we deal with this stuff, it only needs to
be parsed once by the dynamic linker (rather than by each recipient), and it's
now easier for us to get hold of auxv data early on.
