Linux: Perform rseq registration at C startup and thread creation

Register rseq TLS for each thread (including main), and unregister for
each thread (excluding main).  "rseq" stands for Restartable Sequences.

See the rseq(2) man page proposed here:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/19/647

Those are based on glibc master branch commit 3ee1e0ec.
The rseq system call was merged into Linux 4.18.

The TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS define is increased to leave additional room for
dlopen'd initial-exec TLS, which keeps elf/tst-auditmany working.

The increase (76 bytes) is larger than 32 bytes because it has not been
increased in quite a while.  The cost in terms of additional TLS storage
is quite significant, but it will also obscure some initial-exec-related
dlopen failures.
