elf: Add glibc.rtld.execstack
The new tunable can be used to control whether executable stacks are
allowed from either the main program or dependencies. The default is
to allow executable stacks.
The executable stacks default permission is checked agains the one
provided by the PT_GNU_STACK from program headers (if present). The
tunable also disables the stack permission change if any dependency
requires an executable stack at loading time.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.
