    Make libc symbols hidden in static PIE
    
    Hidden visibility can avoid indirections and RELATIVE relocs in
    static PIE libc.
    
    The check should use IS_IN_LIB instead of IS_IN(libc) since all
    symbols are defined locally in static PIE and the optimization is
    useful in all libraries not just libc. However the test system
    links objects from libcrypt.a into dynamic linked test binaries
    where hidden visibility does not work.  I think mixing static and
    shared libc components in the same binary should not be supported
    usage, but to be safe only use hidden in libc.a.
    
    On some targets (i386) this optimization cannot be applied because
    hidden visibility PIE ifunc functions don't work, so it is gated by
    NO_HIDDEN_EXTERN_FUNC_IN_PIE.
    
    From -static-pie linked 'int main(){}' this shaves off 71 relative
    relocs on aarch64 and reduces code size by about 2k.
