Thread local buffers were using pthread_setspecific for storage with
lazy initialization. pthread_setspecific shares TLS slots between the
linker and libc.so, so thread local buffers being initialized in a
different order between libc.so and the linker meant that bad things
would happen (manifesting as snprintf not working because the
locale was mangled)

everything passes
Test: /data/nativetest/bionic-unit-tests/bionic-unit-tests
thread_local tests are failing both before and after (KUSER_HELPERS?)
Test: /data/nativetest64/bionic-unit-tests-static/bionic-unit-tests-static
no additional failures

The x86_64 build was failing because clone.S had a call to __thread_entry which
was being added to a different intermediate .a on the way to making libc.so,
and the linker couldn't guarantee statically that such a relocation would be
possible.
ld: error: out/target/product/generic_x86_64/obj/STATIC_LIBRARIES/libc_common_intermediates/libc_common.a(clone.o): requires dynamic R_X86_64_PC32 reloc against '__thread_entry' which may overflow at runtime; recompile with -fPIC
This patch addresses that by ensuring that the caller and callee end up in the
same intermediate .a. While I'm here, I've tried to clean up some of the mess
that led to this situation too. In particular, this removes libc/private/ from
the default include path (except for the DNS code), and splits out the DNS
code into its own library (since it's a weird special case of upstream NetBSD
code that's diverged so heavily it's unlikely ever to get back in sync).
There's more cleanup of the DNS situation possible, but this is definitely a
step in the right direction, and it's more than enough to get x86_64 building
cleanly.

I gave up trying to use the usual thread-local buffer idiom; calls to
calloc(3) and free(3) from any of the "dl" functions -- which live in
the dynamic linker -- end up resolving to the dynamic linker's stubs.
I tried to work around that, but was just making things more complicated.
This alternative costs us a well-known TLS slot (instead of the
dynamically-allocated TLS slot we'd have used otherwise, so no difference
there), plus an extra buffer inside every pthread_internal_t.
