[PATCH 2/3] [RFC] elf: hack up tunables to avoid RELATIVE relocs

[Szabolcs Nagy <szabolcs.nagy@arm.com>]

With static pie linking pointers in the tunables list need
RELATIVE relocs since the absolute address is not known at
link time.

This is a hack to avoid relocs in tunables so the static pie
self relocation can be done later.

The longest tunable name is currently
  glibc.elision.skip_trylock_internal_abort
and the longest env var alias is
  MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_
There are likely ways to have a compact pointer-free tunable
list data structure with more gen-tunables.awk changes, but
before that i would like to get feedback if this approach
for bug 27072 is acceptable.
