access TLS objects when async cancellation is enabled. otherwise, if
cancellation were acter upon after the atomic fetch/add but before the
thread saved the obtained memory, another access to the same TLS in
the cancellation handler could end up performing the atomic fetch/add
again, consuming more memory than is actually available and
overflowing into other objects on the heap.

fix symbol acceptance/rejection rules for TLS

TLS fixes, mainly alignment handling
compute offsets from the thread pointer statically when loading the
library, rather than repeating the logic on each thread creation. not
only is the latter less efficient at runtime; it also fails to provide
solid guarantees that the offsets will remain the same when the
initial alignment of memory is different. the new alignment handling
is both more rigorous and simpler.
the old code was also clobbering TLS bss with random image data in
some cases due to using tls_size (size of TLS segment) instead of
tls_len (length of the TLS data image).

fix/improve shared library ctor/dtor handling, allow recursive dlopen
some libraries call dlopen from their constructors, resulting in
recursive calls to dlopen. previously, this resulted in deadlock. I'm
now unlocking the dlopen lock before running constructors (this is
especially important since the lock also blocked pthread_create and
was being held while application code runs!) and using a separate
recursive mutex protecting the ctor/dtor state instead.
in order to prevent the same ctor from being called more than once, a
module is considered "constructed" just before the ctor runs.
also, switch from using atexit to register each dtor to using a single
atexit call to register the dynamic linker's dtor processing as just
one handler. this is necessary because atexit performs allocation and
may fail, but the library has already been loaded and cannot be
backed-out at the time dtor registration is performed. this change
also ensures that all dtors run after all atexit functions, rather
than in mixed order.

support for TLS in dynamic-loaded (dlopen) modules
unlike other implementations, this one reserves memory for new TLS in
all pre-existing threads at dlopen-time, and dlopen will fail with no
resources consumed and no new libraries loaded if memory is not
available. memory is not immediately distributed to running threads;
that would be too complex and too costly. instead, assurances are made
that threads needing the new TLS can obtain it in an async-signal-safe
way from a buffer belonging to the dynamic linker/new module (via
atomic fetch-and-add based allocator).
I've re-appropriated the lock that was previously used for __synccall
(synchronizing set*id() syscalls between threads) as a general
pthread_create lock. it's a "backwards" rwlock where the "read"
operation is safe atomic modification of the live thread count, which
multiple threads can perform at the same time, and the "write"
operation is making sure the count does not increase during an
operation that depends on it remaining bounded (__synccall or dlopen).
in static-linked programs that don't use __synccall, this lock is a
no-op and has no cost.

remove freeing of dynamic linker data when dlopen/dlsym are not used
this was an optimization to save/recover a minimal amount of extra
memory for use by malloc, that's becoming increasingly costly to keep
around. freeing this data:
1. breaks debugging with gdb (it can't find library symbols)
2. breaks thread-local storage in shared libraries
it would be possible to disable freeing when TLS is used, but in
addition to the above breakages, tracking whether dlopen/dlsym is used
adds a cost to every symbol lookup, possibly making program startup
slower for large programs. combined with the complexity, it's not
worth it. we already save/recover plenty of memory in the dynamic
linker with reclaim_gaps.

TLS (GNU/C11 thread-local storage) support for static-linked programs

made smaller at some point by merging __init_tls and __init_security
