Add elision tunables
This patch adds several new tunables to control the behavior of
elision on supported platforms[1]. Since elision now depends
on tunables, we should always *compile* with elision enabled,
and leave the code disabled, but available for runtime
selection. This gives us *much* better compile-time testing of
the existing code to avoid bit-rot[2].
Tested on ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x and x86_64.
[1] This part of the patch was initially proposed by
Paul Murphy but was "staled" because the framework have changed
since the patch was originally proposed:
https://patchwork.sourceware.org/patch/10342/
[2] This part of the patch was inititally proposed as a RFC by
Carlos O'Donnell. Make sense to me integrate this on the patch:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-05/msg00335.html
* elf/dl-tunables.list: Add elision parameters.
* manual/tunables.texi: Add entries about elision tunable.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/elision-conf.c:
Add callback functions to dynamically enable/disable elision.
Add multiple callbacks functions to set elision parameters.
Deleted __libc_enable_secure check.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/elision-conf.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/elision-conf.c: Likewise.

* config.h.in: ENABLE_LOCK_ELISION flag was deleted.
* config.make.in: Remove references to enable_lock_elision.
* manual/install.texi: Elision configure option was removed.
* INSTALL: Regenerated to remove enable_lock_elision.
* nptl/Makefile:
Disable elision so it can verify error case for destroying a mutex.
* sysdeps/powerpc/nptl/elide.h:
Cleanup ENABLE_LOCK_ELISION check.
Deleted macros for the case when ENABLE_LOCK_ELISION was not defined.
* sysdeps/s390/configure: Regenerated.
