[PATCH v2 2/2] aarch64: Move ld.so _start to separate file

A separate asm file is easier to maintain than a macro that expands to
inline asm.

The RTLD_START macro is only needed now because _dl_start is local in
rtld.c, but _start has to call it, if _dl_start was made hidden then it
could be empty.

v2:
- fix typo in commit message.
