Instead of using a special ELF section along with a linker script
directive to put the IO vtables within the RELRO section, the libio
vtables are all moved to an array marked as data.relro (so linker
will place in the RELRO segment without the need of extra directives).
To avoid static linking namespace issues and including all vtable
referenced objects, all required function pointers are set to weak alias.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.

These buffers will eventually be used instead of FILE * objects
to implement printf functions. The multibyte buffer is struct
__printf_buffer, the wide buffer is struct __wprintf_buffer.
To enable writing type-generic code, the header files
printf_buffer-char.h and printf_buffer-wchar_t.h define the
Xprintf macro differently, enabling Xprintf (buffer) to stand
for __printf_buffer and __wprintf_buffer as appropriate. For
common cases, macros like Xprintf_buffer are provided as a more
syntactically convenient shortcut.
Buffer-specific flush callbacks are implemented with a switch
statement instead of a function pointer, to avoid hardening issues
similar to those of libio vtables. struct __printf_buffer_as_file
is needed to support custom printf specifiers because the public
interface for that requires passing a FILE *, which is why there
is a trapdoor back from these buffers to FILE * streams.
Since the immediate user of these interfaces knows when processing
has finished, there is no flush callback for the end of processing,
only a flush callback for the intermediate buffer flush.
