Adhemerval Zanella 5355f9ca7b elf: Remove -fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns usage on dl-support
Besides the option being gcc specific, this approach is still fragile
and not future proof since we do not know if this will be the only
optimization option gcc will add that transforms loops to memset
(or any libcall).

This patch adds a new header, dl-symbol-redir-ifunc.h, that can b
used to redirect the compiler generated libcalls to port the generic
memset implementation if required.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.

/* The compiler might optimize loops or other constructs to library calls even
in freestanding mode. Although it is safe in most scenarios, on program
loading and static startup, iFUNC resolution might require other dynamic
relocation that are not yet done.
Instead of adding per-file compiler flags to avoid the libcall generation,
this header defines generic symbols that will be routed instead of the
default symbols name.
Each port can then make the required redirection to the expected generic
implementation if the symbol is provided as iFUNC, with a global definition
such as:
asm ("memset = __memset_generic");
