Install shared objects under their ABI names
Previously, the installed objects were named like libc-2.33.so,
and the ABI soname libc.so.6 was just a symbolic link.
The Makefile targets to install these symbolic links are no longer
needed after this, so they are removed with this commit. The more
general $(make-link) command (which invokes scripts/rellns-sh) is
retained because other symbolic links are still needed.
