[PATCH] i386: Add GLIBC_ABI_GNU_TLS version [BZ #33221]

On i386, programs and shared libraries with __thread usage may fail
silently at run-time against glibc without the TLS run-time fix for:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32996

Add GLIBC_ABI_GNU_TLS version to indicate that glibc has the working
GNU TLS run-time.  Linker can add the GLIBC_ABI_GNU_TLS version to
binaries which depend on the working TLS run-time so that such programs
and shared libraries will fail to load and run at run-time against
libc.so without the GLIBC_ABI_GNU_TLS version, instead of fail silently
at random.

This fixes BZ #33221.
