Prelinked binaries and libraries still work, the dynamic tags
DT_GNU_PRELINKED, DT_GNU_LIBLIST, DT_GNU_CONFLICT just ignored
(meaning the process is reallocated as default).
The loader environment variable TRACE_PRELINKING is also removed,
since it used solely on prelink.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.

Commit 9e78f6f6e7 ("Implement
_dl_catch_error, _dl_signal_error in libc.so [BZ #16628]") has the
side effect that distinct namespaces, as created by dlmopen, now have
separate implementations of the rtld exception mechanism. This means
that the call to _dl_catch_error from libdl in a secondary namespace
does not actually install an exception handler because the
thread-local variable catch_hook in the libc.so copy in the secondary
namespace is distinct from that of the base namepace. As a result, a
dlsym/dlopen/... failure in a secondary namespace terminates the process
with a dynamic linker error because it looks to the exception handler
mechanism as if no handler has been installed.
This commit restores GLRO (dl_catch_error) and uses it to set the
handler in the base namespace.

In some cases, it is necessary to introduce noexcept regions
where raised dynamic loader exceptions (e.g., from lazy binding)
are fatal, despite being nested in a code region with an active
exception handler. This change enhances _dl_catch_exception with
to provide such a capability. The existing function is reused,
so that it is not necessary to introduce yet another function with
a similar purpose.

This commit separates allocating and raising exceptions. This
simplifies catching and re-raising them because it is no longer
necessary to make a temporary, on-stack copy of the exception message.
This change moves the main implementation of _dl_catch_error,
_dl_signal_error to libc.so, where TLS variables can be used
directly. This removes a writable function pointer from the
rtld_global variable.
For use during initial relocation, minimal implementations of these
functions are provided in ld.so. These are eventually interposed
by the libc.so implementations. This is implemented by compiling
elf/dl-error-skeleton.c twice, via elf/dl-error.c and
elf/dl-error-minimal.c.
As a side effect of this change, the static version of dl-error.c
no longer includes support for the
_dl_signal_cerror/_dl_receive_error mechanism because it is only
used in ld.so.
