To setup either the thread scheduling parameters or affinity,
pthread_create enforce synchronization on created thread to wait until
its parent either release PD ownership or send a cancellation signal if
a failure occurs.
However, cancelling the thread does not deallocate the newly created
stack since cancellation expects that a pthread_join to deallocate any
allocated thread resouces (threads stack or TLS).
This patch changes on how the thread resource is deallocate in case of
failure to be synchronous, where the creating thread will signal the
created thread to exit early so it could be joined. The creating thread
will be reponsible for the resource cleanup before returning to the
caller.
To signal the creating thread that a failure has occured, an unused
'struct pthread' member, parent_cancelhandling_unsed, now indicates
whether the setup has failed so creating thread can proper exit.
This strategy also simplifies by not using thread cancellation and
thus not running libgcc_so load in the signal handler (which is
avoided in thread cancellation since 'pthread_cancel' is the one
responsible to dlopen libgcc_s). Another advantage is since the
early exit is move to first step at thread creation, the signal
mask is not already set and thus it can not act on change ID setxid
handler.

This commit removes the ELF constructor and internal variables from
dlfcn/dlfcn.c. The file now serves the same purpose as
nptl/libpthread-compat.c, so it is renamed to dlfcn/libdl-compat.c.
The use of libdl-shared-only-routines ensures that libdl.a is empty.
This commit adjusts the test suite not to use $(libdl). The libdl.so
symbolic link is no longer installed.

No functional change.
The signal is sent to all threads, some of which may have switched
to very small stacks. If they have also installed an alternate
signal stack, SA_ONSTACK makes this work. The Go runtime needs this:
runtime: C.setuid/C.setgid smashes Go stack

Doing this for SIGCANCEL is less obviously beneficial and needs further
testing.

The symbols were moved using scripts/move-symbol-to-libc.py.
The libpthread placeholder symbols need some changes because some
symbol versions have gone away completely. But
__errno_location@@GLIBC_2.0 still exists, so the GLIBC_2.0 version
is still there.
The internal __pthread_create symbol now points to the correct
function, so the sysdeps/nptl/thrd_create.c override is no longer
necessary.

Use the __nptl_tls_static_size_for_stack inline function instead,
and the GLRO (dl_tls_static_align) value directly.
The computation of GLRO (dl_tls_static_align) in
_dl_determine_tlsoffset ensures that the alignment is at least
TLS_TCB_ALIGN, which at least STACK_ALIGN (see allocate_stack).
Therefore, the additional rounding-up step is removed.
ALso move the initialization of the default stack size from
__pthread_initialize_minimal_internal to __pthread_early_init.
This introduces an extra system call during single-threaded startup,
but this simplifies the initialization sequence. No locking is
needed around the writes to __default_pthread_attr because the
process is single-threaded at this point.

Install signal handlers and unblock signals before pthread_create
creates the first thread.
create_thread in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/createthread.c can send
SIGCANCEL to the current thread, so the SIGCANCEL handler is currently
needed even if pthread_cancel is never called. (The way timer_create
uses SIGCANCEL does not need a signal handler; both SIG_DFL and SIG_IGN
dispositions should work.)
