[PATCH] Simplify the abilist format

This picks up an old idea, which had some support at the time:

  <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-03/msg00255.html>

The new format lists the version on each line, as in:

	VERSION SYMBOL TYPE [VALUE]

This makes it easier to process the files with line-oriented tools.

The abilist files were converted with this awk script:

/^[^ ]/ { version = $1 }
/^ / { print version, substr($0, 2) }

And sorted under the "C" locale with sort.

(The patch does not contain the automatically-generated part.)

I checked that “make update-abi” still works.
