PR 21847, PowerPC64 --plt-localentry again
This makes ld warn about --plt-localentry if a version of glibc
without the necessary ld.so checks is detected, and revises the
documentation.
bfd/
* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_tls_setup): Warn on --plt-localentry
without ld.so checks.
gold/

without ld.so checks.
