commit 8329939a37f483a16013dd8af8303cbcb86d92cb

elf: Introduce _dl_debug_change_state
It combines updating r_state with the debugger notification.
The second change to _dl_open introduces an additional debugger
notification for dlmopen, but debuggers are expected to ignore it.

commit ea85e7d55087075376a29261e722e4fae14ecbe7

elf: Restore support for _r_debug interpositions and copy relocations
The changes in commit a93d9e03a31ec14405cb3a09aa95413b67067380
("Extend struct r_debug to support multiple namespaces [BZ #15971]")
break the dyninst dynamic instrumentation tool. It brings its
own definition of _r_debug (rather than a declaration).
Furthermore, it turns out it is rather hard to use the proposed
handshake for accessing _r_debug via DT_DEBUG. If applications want
to access _r_debug, they can do so directly if the relevant code has
been built as PIC. To protect against harm from accidental copy
relocations due to linker relaxations, this commit restores copy
relocation support by adjusting both copies if interposition or
copy relocations are in play. Therefore, it is possible to
use a hidden reference in ld.so to access _r_debug.
Only perform the copy relocation initialization if libc has been
loaded. Otherwise, the ld.so search scope can be empty, and the
lookup of the _r_debug symbol mail fail.
