Peter Collingbourne e949195f64 Adopt GNU calling convention for ifunc resolvers.
In order for an ifunc resolver to detect the presence of certain CPU features,
access to getauxval(AT_HWCAP) or getauxval(AT_HWCAP2) may be required. In order
for getauxval() to work, it needs to access the pointer to the auxiliary vector
stored by the linker in the libc shared globals data structure. Accessing the
shared globals requires libc to call the __libc_shared_globals() function
exported by the linker. However, in order to call this function, libc must
be fully relocated, which is not guaranteed to be the case at the point when
ifunc resolvers are called.

glibc solves this problem by passing the values of getauxval(AT_HWCAP)
(and getauxval(AT_HWCAP2) on aarch64) as arguments to the ifunc resolver.
Since this seems to be not only the most straightforward way to solve the
problem but also improves our compatibility with glibc, we adopt their
calling convention.

This change is ABI compatible with old resolvers because the arguments are
passed in registers, so the old resolvers will simply ignore the new arguments.
