librt.so is no longer installed for PTHREAD_IN_LIBC, and tests
are not linked against it. $(librt) is introduced globally for
shared tests that need to be linked for both PTHREAD_IN_LIBC
and !PTHREAD_IN_LIBC.
GLIBC_PRIVATE symbols that were needed during the transition are
removed again.

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
libpthread_nonshared.a is unused after this, so remove it from the
build.
There is no ABI impact because pthread_atfork was implemented using
__register_atfork in libc even before this change.
pthread_atfork has to be a weak alias because pthread_* names are not
reserved in libc.

glibc has an add-ons mechanism to allow additional software to be
integrated into the glibc build. Such add-ons may be within the glibc
source tree, or outside it at a path passed to the --enable-add-ons
configure option.
localedata and crypt were once add-ons, distributed in separate
release tarballs, but long since stopped using that mechanism.
Linuxthreads was always an add-on. Ports spent some time as an add-on
with separate release tarballs, then was first moved into the glibc
source tree, then had its sysdeps files moved into the main sysdeps
hierarchy so the add-ons mechanism was no longer used. NPTL spent
some time as an add-on in the main glibc tree before stopping using
the add-on mechanism. libidn used to have separate release tarballs
but no longer does so, but still uses the add-ons mechanism within the
glibc source tree. Various other software has supported building with
the add-ons mechanism at times in the past, but I don't think any is
still widely used.
Add-ons involve significant, little-used complexity in the glibc build
system, and make it hard to understand what the space of possible
glibc configurations is. This patch removes the add-ons mechanism.
libidn is now built via the Subdirs mechanism to cause any
configuration using sysdeps/unix/inet to build libidn; HAVE_LIBIDN
(which effectively means shared libraries are available) is now
defined via sysdeps/unix/inet/configure. Various references to
add-ons around the source tree are removed (in the case of maint.texi,
the example list of sysdeps directories is still very out of date).
Externally maintained ports should now put their files in the normal
sysdeps directory structure rather than being arranged as add-ons;
they probably need to change e.g. elf.h anyway, rather than actually
being able to work just as a drop-in subtree. Hurd libpthread should
be arranged similarly to NPTL, so some files might go in a
hurd-pthreads (or similar) top-level directory in glibc, while sysdeps
files should go in the normal sysdeps directory structure (possibly in
hurd or hurd-pthreads subdirectories, just as there are nptl
subdirectories in the sysdeps tree).

Nothing depends on the PTW macro anymore, so the mechanism to define
PTW for recompliations of libc routines is no longer needed. The
source files are still recompiled for the nptl directory, just without
the “ptw-” prefix.
(Reducing the number of pattern rules in sysd-rules is critical for
improving make performance.)
