libstdc++: Another attempt to ensure g++ 13+ compiled programs enforce gcc 13.2+ libstdc++.so.6 [PR108969]

GCC used to emit an instance of an empty ios_base::Init class in
every TU which included <iostream> to ensure it is std::cout etc.
is initialized, but thanks to Patrick work on some targets (which have
init_priority attribute support) it is now initialized only inside of
libstdc++.so.6/libstdc++.a.

This causes a problem if people do something that has never been supported,
try to run GCC 13 compiled C++ code against GCC 12 or earlier
libstdc++.so.6 - std::cout etc. are then never initialized because code
including <iostream> expects the library to initialize it and the library
expects code including <iostream> to do that.

The following patch is second attempt to make this work cheaply as the
earlier attempt of aliasing the std::cout etc. symbols with another symbol
version didn't work out due to copy relocation breaking the aliases appart.

The patch forces just a _ZSt21ios_base_library_initv undefined symbol
into all *.o files which include <iostream> and while there is no runtime
relocation against that, it seems to enforce the right version of
libstdc++.so.6.  /home/jakub/src/gcc/obj08i/usr/local/ is the install
directory of trunk patched with this patch, /home/jakub/src/gcc/obj06/
is builddir of trunk without this patch, system g++ is GCC 12.1.1.

On sparc-sun-solaris2.11 one I've actually checked a version which had
defined(_GLIBCXX_SYMVER_SUN) next to defined(_GLIBCXX_SYMVER_GNU), but
init_priority attribute doesn't seem to be supported there and so I couldn't
actually test how this works there.  Using gas and Sun ld, Rainer, does one
need to use gas + gld for init_priority or something else?
