The Linux nptl implementation is used as base for generic fork
implementation to handle the internal locks and mutexes. The
system specific bits are moved a new internal _Fork symbol.
(This new implementation will be used to provide a async-signal-safe
_Fork now that POSIX has clarified that fork might not be
async-signal-safe [1]).
For Hurd it means that the __nss_database_fork_prepare_parent and
__nss_database_fork_subprocess will be run in a slight different
order.

UNREGISTER_ATFORK is now defined for all ports in register-atfork.h, so most
previous includes of fork.h actually only need register-atfork.h now, and
cxa_finalize.c does not need an ifdef UNREGISTER_ATFORK any more.
The nptl-specific fork generation counters can then go to pthreadP.h, and
fork.h be removed.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-gnu.

Both htl and nptl uses a different data structure to implement atfork
handlers. The nptl one was refactored by 27761a1042 to use a dynarray
which simplifies the code.
This patch moves the nptl one to be the generic implementation and
replace Hurd linked one. Different than previous NPTL, Hurd also uses
a global lock, so performance should be similar.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and with a build for
i686-gnu.
