The ld.so diagnostics already prints AT_HWCAP values, but only in
hexadecimal. To avoid duplicating the strings, consolidate the
hwcap_names from cpu-features.h on a new file, dl-hwcap-info.h
(and it also improves the hwcap string description with more
values).
For future AT_HWCAP3/AT_HWCAP4 extensions, it is just a matter
to add them on dl-hwcap-info.c so both ld diagnostics and
tunable filtering will parse the new values.
Checked on powerpc64le-linux-gnu.

This patch adds a new feature for powerpc. In order to get faster
access to the HWCAP3/HWCAP4 masks, similar to HWCAP/HWCAP2 (i.e. for
implementing __builtin_cpu_supports() in GCC) without the overhead of
reading them from the auxiliary vector, we now reserve space for them
in the TCB.
This is an ABI change for GLIBC 2.39.

This patch enables the option to influence hwcaps used by PowerPC.
The environment variable, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.cpu.hwcaps=-xxx,yyy,-zzz....,
can be used to enable CPU/ARCH feature yyy, disable CPU/ARCH feature xxx
and zzz, where the feature name is case-sensitive and has to match the ones
mentioned in the file{sysdeps/powerpc/dl-procinfo.c}.
Note that the hwcap tunables only used in the IFUNC selection.
