GCC 10.0 enabled -fno-common by default and this started to point that
__cache_line_size had been implemented in 2 different places: loader and
libc.
In order to avoid this duplication, the libc variable has been removed
and the loader variable is moved to rtld_global_ro.
File sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/dl-auxv.h has been added in order
to reuse code for both static and dynamic linking scenarios.

On POWER8, unaligned memory accesses to cached memory has little impact
on performance as opposed to its ancestors.
It is disabled by default and will only be available when the tunable
glibc.tune.cached_memopt is set to 1.

HWCAP-related code should had been updated when the 32 bits of HWCAP were
used. This patch updates the code in dl-procinfo.h to loop through all
the 32 bits in HWCAP and updates _dl_powerpc_cap_flags accordingly.
Linux commit b4b56f9ecab40f3b4ef53e130c9f6663be491894 introduced
a new HWCAP2 bit to indicate that the kernel now aborts a memory
transaction when a syscall is made. This patch adds that bit to
sysdeps/powerpc/bits/hwcap.h.
