We setup $(READELF) and use it everywhere, so fix the two places
that were using readelf directly.

* elf/Makefile (tests): Remove conditional for have-initfini-array
since this is now always required and the variable does not exist
anymore.
(tests-static): Likewise.
(modules-names): Likewise.
Commit glibc-2.14~10 disallowed rtld self loading to avoid a segfault
that used to happen when rtld was loading itself in normal mode.
Unfortunately, that commit disallowed all modes of self loading,
including those that used to work before. This change limits the check
for self loading to normal mode only, so that instruments like ldd could
handle rtld properly.
It may sometimes be desirable to make the dynamic linker only pick up
libraries from the library path and rpath and not look at the
ld.so.cache that ldconfig generates. An example of such a use case is
the glibc testsuite where the dynamic linker must not be influenced by
any external paths or caches.
This change adds a new option --inhibit-ldcache that when used, tells
the dynamic linker to not use ld.so.cache even if it is available.
When dynamically loading a library along with several dependencies, calls to
_dl_add_to_slotinfo and _dl_update_slotinfo can become intermixed. As a
consequence, _dl_update_slotinfo will update the generation counter of the dtv
although not all of the slots belonging to that generation have been added.
Subsequent calls to _dl_add_to_slotinfo will add more slots to the same
generation, for which no storage will be allocated, as the dtv generation
checks will claim no work is necessary. This will lead to uninitialized dtv
entries and will likely cause a SIGSEGV when thread local variables are
accessed.
