[PATCH v3 08/16] elf: Enable relro for static build


Changes from previous version:

  - The tests were removed and instead I will use the ones proposed
    by Florian's patch 'elf: Add tests for working RELRO protection'
    [1].  I also plan to send additional coverage for '.data.rel.ro'
    which trigger failures for the static case on both partial and
    full relro which is fixed by this patch once the patch is
    upstream.

--

The code is similar to the one at elf/dl-reloc.c, where it checks for
the l_relro_size from the link_map (obtained from PT_GNU_RELRO header
from program headers) and calls_dl_protected_relro.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
aarch64-linux-gnu, s390x-linux-gnu, and sparc64-linux-gnu.  I also
check with --enable-static pie on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu,
and aarch64-linux-gnu which seems the only architectures where
static PIE is actually working (as per 9d7a3741c9e, on
arm-linux-gnueabihf, powerpc64{le}-linux-gnu, and s390x-linux-gnu
I am seeing runtime issues not related to my patch).
