Expose libc_shared_globals to libc.so with symbol
Previously, the address of the global variable was communicated from the
dynamic linker to libc.so using a field of KernelArgumentBlock, which is
communicated using the TLS_SLOT_BIONIC_PREINIT slot.
As long as this function isn't called during relocations (i.e. while
executing an ifunc), it always return a non-NULL value. If it's called
before its PLT entry is relocated, I expect a crash.
I removed the __libc_init_shared_globals function. It's currently empty,
and I don't think there's one point in libc's initialization where
shared globals should be initialized.
