They are both used by __libc_freeres to free all library malloc
allocated resources to help tooling like mtrace or valgrind with
memory leak tracking.
The current scheme uses assembly markers and linker script entries
to consolidate the free routine function pointers in the RELRO segment
and to be freed buffers in BSS.
This patch changes it to use specific free functions for
libc_freeres_ptrs buffers and call the function pointer array directly
with call_function_static_weak.
It allows the removal of both the internal macros and the linker
script sections.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.

This patch adds IEEE long double versions of q*cvt* functions for
powerpc64le. Unlike all other long double to/from string conversion
functions, these do not rely on internal functions that can take
floating-point numbers with different formats and act on them
accordingly, instead, the related files are rebuilt with the
-mabi=ieeelongdouble compiler flag set.
Having -mabi=ieeelongdouble passed to the compiler causes the object
files to be marked with a .gnu_attribute that is incompatible with the
.gnu_attribute in files built with -mabi=ibmlongdouble (the default).
The difference causes error messages similar to the following:
ld: libc_pic.a(s_isinfl.os) uses IBM long double,
libc_pic.a(ieee128-qefgcvt_r.os) uses IEEE long double.
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [../Makerules:649: libc_pic.os] Error 1
Although this warning is useful in other situations, the library
actually needs to have functions with different long double formats, so
.gnu_attribute generation is explicitly disabled for these files with
the use of -mno-gnu-attribute.
Tested for powerpc64le on the branch that actually enables the
sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm-compat for powerpc64le.

This patch refactors the *cvt functions implementation in a way that
makes it easier to re-use them for implementing the IEEE long double on
powerpc64le. By removing the macros that generate the function names
(APPEND combined with FUNC_PREFIX), the new code makes it easier to
define new function names, such as __qecvtieee128.
Tested that installed stripped binaries for all build-many-glibcs
targets remain identical before and after this patch. Also tested for
powerpc64le and x86_64.

This patch refactors the *cvt functions implementation in a way that
makes it easier to re-use them for implementing the IEEE long double on
powerpc64le. By splitting the implementation per se in one file
(efgcvt-template.c) and the alias definitions in others (e.g. efgcvt.c),
the new code makes it easier to define new function names, such as
__qecvtieee128.
