Florian Weimer 785969a047 elf: Implement a string table for ldconfig, with tail merging
This will be used in ldconfig to reduce the ld.so.cache size slightly.

Tail merging is an optimization where a pointer points into another
string if the first string is a suffix of the second string.

The hash function FNV-1a was chosen because it is simple and achieves
good dispersion even for short strings (so that the hash table bucket
count can be a power of two).  It is clearly superior to the hsearch
hash and the ELF hash in this regard.

The hash table uses chaining for collision resolution.
