Tunable values and their minimum/maximum values are invisible to users.
This patch set adds --list-tunables to ld.so to print tunable values
with their minimum and maximum values.

--list-tunables works on i686 and x86-64.  Please test --list-tunables on
your native processors.  users/hjl/tunable/master branch at:

https://gitlab.com/x86-glibc/glibc/-/commits/users/hjl/tunable/master

contains the same set of patches.

On x86, to make cache info accessible to --list-tunables, they are moved
to cpu_features in ld.so and TUNABLE_SET_WITH_BOUNDS is used to update
tunable bounds.
