[RFC v2] Pretty printers for NPTL lock types

New files should have copyright and license notices as usual with the 
usual glibc license (and a copyright assignment will be needed).

I don't like the duplication of large numbers of constants from the glibc 
headers.  I think you need a way to extract these constants from the 
headers at glibc build time, or otherwise to ensure that the two sets of 
definitions remain consistent.  Are all these constants always 
architecture-independent, and independent of multilib for configurations 
supporting multiple ABI variants?  Also, comments would be needed at the 
definitions of the constants in the headers pointing out that the pretty 
printers should be updated when new constants are added to each relevant 
set of constants.
