[PATCH v2 0/5] elf: Allow RPATH/RUNPATH for static-pie (BZ 33326)

Although static binaries do not support rpath (since they lack dynamic
sections), adding static-pie support only affects the dlopen function.
It is one less unexpected behavior (where dynamic and static binaries
support and behave differently), and if/when static dlopen support is
removed, this will become a no-op.

The testcase from BZ 33236 triggered a deep issue with an assert in
startup code, which required changes to multiple ABIs to properly fix
(even though the assert itself was removed in the last patch). There
are still other assert usage, although most, if not all, are for
ill-formatted ELF files.

Changes from v1:
* Change the ctz/clz fallback to simpler algorithms and use a different
  header/macro with a better explanation of its intend.
* Rename __pthread_kill_self to __raise_nostatus.
* Fixed assert also for powerpc-power4 and riscv.

Adhemerval Zanella (5):
  string: Add fallback implementation for ctz/clz
  nptl: Add __raise_nocancel
  Use _dl_writev on __libc_message_impl
  Fix assert during static startup
