And make always supported. The configure option was added on glibc 2.25
and some features require it (such as hwcap mask, huge pages support, and
lock elisition tuning). It also simplifies the build permutations.
Changes from v1:
* Remove glibc.rtld.dynamic_sort changes, it is orthogonal and needs
more discussion.
* Cleanup more code.

The print_hwcap_1 machinery was useful for the legacy hwcaps
subdirectories, but it is not worth the trouble now that they
are gone.

I used these shell commands:

(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:

I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and

This hacks non-power-set processing into _dl_important_hwcaps.
Once the legacy hwcaps handling goes away, the subdirectory
handling needs to be reworked, but it is premature to do this
while both approaches are still supported.
ld.so supports two new arguments, --glibc-hwcaps-prepend and
--glibc-hwcaps-mask. Each accepts a colon-separated list of
glibc-hwcaps subdirectory names. The prepend option adds additional
subdirectories that are searched first, in the specified order. The
mask option restricts the automatically selected subdirectories to
those listed in the option argument. For example, on systems where
/usr/lib64 is on the library search path,
--glibc-hwcaps-prepend=valgrind:debug causes the dynamic loader to
search the directories /usr/lib64/glibc-hwcaps/valgrind and
/usr/lib64/glibc-hwcaps/debug just before /usr/lib64 is searched.

This requires defining a macro for the full path, matching the
-Wl,--dynamic-link= arguments used for linking glibc programs,

This prints out version information for the dynamic loader and
exits immediately, without further command line processing
(which seems to match what some GNU tools do).

--help processing is deferred to the point where the executable has
been loaded, so that it is possible to eventually include information
from the main executable in the help output.
As suggested in the GNU command-line interface guidelines, the help
message is printed to standard output, and the exit status is
successful.
Handle usage errors closer to the GNU command-line interface
guidelines.
