This patch adds a new feature for powerpc. In order to get faster
access to the HWCAP3/HWCAP4 masks, similar to HWCAP/HWCAP2 (i.e. for
implementing __builtin_cpu_supports() in GCC) without the overhead of
reading them from the auxiliary vector, we now reserve space for them
in the TCB.

(cherry picked from commit 3ab9b88e2a)
And optimize it slightly.
This is commit 8c8510ab27 revised.
In _dl_aux_init in elf/dl-support.c, use an explicit loop
and -fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns to avoid memset.

This reverts commit 8c8510ab27. The
revert is not perfect because the commit included a bug fix for
_dl_sysdep_start with an empty argv, introduced in commit
2d47fa6862 ("Linux: Remove
DL_FIND_ARG_COMPONENTS"), and this bug fix is kept.
The revert is necessary because the reverted commit introduced an
early memset call on aarch64, which leads to crash due to lack of TCB
initialization.
And optimize it slightly.
The large switch statement in _dl_sysdep_start can be replaced with
a large array. This reduces source code and binary size. On
i686-linux-gnu:
Before:
text data bss dec hex filename

After:
