Remove TLS configure tests.
There seemed to be support in response to <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00510.html> for removing configure tests that exist only to produce errors, where we expect that tool versions failing the tests would also fail the tests of minimum GCC / binutils versions. This patch removes the tests for TLS support as one instance of such tests. Since the addition of TLS emulation support in GCC 4.3, I don't think these tests would have failed even if proper TLS support (as required by glibc) was missing in that architecture's GCC back end, so any new glibc ports wanting a substantive test (if there are actual GCC or binutils versions for those architectures, with supported version numbers, missing TLS support) would have needed an architecture-specific test anyway. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_gcc___thread): Remove configure test. (libc_cv_gcc_tls_model_attr): Likewise. * configure: Regenerated.
