This patch adds several new tunables to control the behavior of
elision on supported platforms[1]. Since elision now depends
on tunables, we should always *compile* with elision enabled,
and leave the code disabled, but available for runtime
selection. This gives us *much* better compile-time testing of
the existing code to avoid bit-rot[2].
Tested on ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x and x86_64.
[1] This part of the patch was initially proposed by
Paul Murphy but was "staled" because the framework have changed
since the patch was originally proposed:
https://patchwork.sourceware.org/patch/10342/
[2] This part of the patch was inititally proposed as a RFC by
Carlos O'Donnell. Make sense to me integrate this on the patch:

This patch updates x86 elision-conf.c to use the newly defined
HAS_CPU_FEATURE from <cpu-features.h>.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/elision-conf.c (elision_init):
Replace HAS_RTM with HAS_CPU_FEATURE (RTM).
This patch relies on the C version of the rwlocks posted earlier.
With C rwlocks it is very straight forward to do adaptive elision
using TSX. It is based on the infrastructure added earlier
for mutexes, but uses its own elision macros. The macros
are fairly general purpose and could be used for other
elision purposes too.
This version is much cleaner than the earlier assembler based
version, and in particular implements adaptation which makes
it safer.
I changed the behavior slightly to not require any changes
in the test suite and fully conform to all expected
behaviors (generally at the cost of not eliding in
various situations). In particular this means the timedlock
variants are not elided. Nested trylock aborts.
