elf: Move vDSO setup to rtld (BZ#24967)



This patch moves the vDSO setup from libc to loader code, just after
the vDSO link_map setup.  For static case the initialization
is moved to _dl_non_dynamic_init instead.

Instead of using the mangled pointer, the vDSO data is set as
attribute_relro (on _rtld_global_ro for shared or _dl_vdso_* for
static).  It is read-only even with partial relro.

It fixes BZ#24967 now that the vDSO pointer is setup earlier than
malloc interposition is called.

Also, vDSO calls should not be a problem for static dlopen as
indicated by BZ#20802.  The vDSO pointer would be zero-initialized
and the syscall will be issued instead.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu,
arm-linux-gnueabihf, powerpc64le-linux-gnu, powerpc64-linux-gnu,
powerpc-linux-gnu, s390x-linux-gnu, sparc64-linux-gnu, and
sparcv9-linux-gnu.  I also run some tests on mips.
