x86/vdso: Emit a GNU hash
Some dynamic loaders may be slightly faster if a GNU hash is
available. Strangely, this seems to have no effect at all on
the vdso size.
This is unlikely to have any measurable effect on the time it
takes to resolve vdso symbols (since there are so few of them).
In some contexts, it can be a win for a different reason: if
every DSO has a GNU hash section, then libc can avoid
calculating SysV hashes at all. Both musl and glibc appear to
have this optimization.
It's plausible that this breaks some ancient glibc version. If
so, then, depending on what glibc versions break, we could
either require COMPAT_VDSO for them or consider reverting.
