ea9b0ecbf0 tunables: Add LD_HWCAP_MASK to tunables
Add LD_HWCAP_MASK to tunables in preparation of it being removed from
rtld.c.  This allows us to read LD_HWCAP_MASK much earlier so that it
can influence IFUNC resolution in aarch64.

This patch does not actually do anything other than read the
LD_HWCAP_MASK variable and add the tunables way to set the
LD_HWCAP_MASK, i.e. via the glibc.tune.hwcap_mask tunable.  In a
follow-up patch, the _dl_hwcap_mask will be replaced with
glibc.tune.hwcap_mask to complete the transition.

	* elf/dl-tunables.list: Add glibc.tune.hwcap_mask.
	* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Include dl-procinfo.h.
	* manual/tunables.texi: Document glibc.tune.hwcap_mask.
