[PATCH v3 0/2] Extend struct r_debug to support multiple namespaces

Changes in the v3 patch:

1. Remove the empty namespace from the namespace linked list.
2. Properly add the new namespace to the linked list.

Changes in the v2 patch:

1. Bump r_version to 2.
2. Don't add DT_DEBUGSZ.
3. Add struct r_debug_extended to extend struct r_debug.
4. Don't update the r_state field in the copy of _r_debug in executable
since it is not consumed by the program.

Glibc does not provide an interface for debugger to access libraries
loaded in multiple namespaces via dlmopen.

The current rtld-debugger interface is described in the file:

elf/rtld-debugger-interface.txt

under the "Standard debugger interface" heading.  This interface only
provides access to the first link-map (LM_ID_BASE).

Based on the patch from Conan C Huang <[email protected]>:

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2020-June/115448.html

1. Bump r_version to 2.  This triggers the GDB bug:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28236

2. Add struct r_debug_extended to extend struct r_debug into a linked-list,
where each element correlates to an unique namespace.
3. Add a hidden symbol, _r_debug_extended, for struct r_debug_extended.
4. Provide the compatibility symbol, _r_debug, with size of struct r_debug,
as an alise of _r_debug_extended, for programs which reference _r_debug.
