intrinsic references inside rtld to be handled without indirection
through PLT. The visibility of rtld symbols for other objects in the
symbol namespace is controlled by a version script.

fork (assuming no lazy loading of a filter is needed), but other rtld
services which require write lock on rtld_bind_lock cause deadlock, if
called by child.
Change the _rtld_atfork() to lock the bind lock in write mode, making
the rtld fully functional after the fork.
Pre-resolve the symbols which are called by the libthr' fork()
interposer, since dynamic resolution causes deadlock due to the
rtld_bind_lock already owned in the write mode.

C runtime services, like printf(). Unfortunately, the multithread-safeness
measures in the libc do not work in rtld environment.
Rip the kernel printf() implementation and use it in the rtld instead of
libc version. This printf does not require any shared global data and thus
is mt-safe. Systematically use rtld_printf() and related functions, remove
the calls to err(3).
Note that stdio is still pulled from libc due to libmap implementaion using
fopen(). This is safe but unoptimal, and can be changed later.

Filtees are loaded on demand, unless LD_LOADFLTR environment variable
is set or -z loadfltr was specified during the linking. This forces
rtld to upgrade read-locked rtld_bind_lock to write lock when it
encounters an object with filter during symbol lookup.
Consolidate common arguments of the symbol lookup functions in the
SymLook structure. Track the state of the rtld locks in the
RtldLockState structure. Pass local RtldLockState through the rtld
symbol lookup calls to allow lock upgrades.

Threading library calls _pre before the fork, allowing the rtld to
lock itself to ensure that other threads of the process are out of
dynamic linker. _post releases the locks.
This allows the rtld to have consistent state in the child. Although
child may legitimately call only async-safe functions, the call may
need plt relocation resolution, and this requires working rtld.

From the PR description:
The gcc runtime's _Unwind_Find_FDE function, invoked during exception
handling's stack unwinding, is not safe to execute from within multiple
threads. FreeBSD' s dl_iterate_phdr() however permits multiple threads
to pass through it though. The result is surprisingly reliable infinite
looping of one or more threads if they just happen to be unwinding at
the same time.
Introduce the new lock that is write locked around the dl_iterate_pdr,
thus providing required exclusion for the stack unwinders.
