Adding GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS will be a
significant behavior change and may unnecessarily break user programs
(glibc will report an error instead of a warning).

If the executable takes the address of a protected function defined in a
shared object, it may or may not cause a pointer equality problem (the
shared object may not take the address) and the problem (if exists) may or
may not be a broken invariance to the program (it may not expect pointer
equality).

All of aarch64/arm/powerpc64/riscv (likely most except x86, but I
haven't enumerated) consider a protected data symbol local in -shared
links. x86 did so a while ago (before 2015?).  (For
aarch64/arm/powerpc64/riscv, I wish that we never need
GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS. The property will just
waste some bytes in every shared object without carrying much
information.)

The 280+ failures in check-ld due to the default
GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS need to be considered as
well.
