Created tunable glibc.pthread.stack_hugetlb to control when hugepages
can be used for stack allocation.
In case THP are enabled and glibc.pthread.stack_hugetlb is set to
0, glibc will madvise the kernel not to use allow hugepages for stack
allocations.

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.
remote: *** 912-#endif

We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

The valgrind/helgrind test suite needs a way to make stack dealloction
more prompt, and this feature seems to be generally useful.

No abilist updates here because it is a GLIBC_PRIVATE symbol.
It's also necessary to move nptl_version into pthread_create, so
that it still ends up in static binaries.

This replaces the FREE_P macro with the __nptl_stack_in_use inline
function. stack_list_del is renamed to __nptl_stack_list_del,
stack_list_add to __nptl_stack_list_add, __deallocate_stack to
__nptl_deallocate_stack, free_stacks to __nptl_free_stacks.
It is convenient to move __libpthread_freeres into libc at the
same time. This removes the temporary __default_pthread_attr_freeres
export and restores full freeres coverage for __default_pthread_attr.
