This was originally motivated by noticing that we were setting the
wrong bits for the well-known tls entries. That was a harmless bug
because none of the well-known tls entries has a destructor, but
it's best not to leave land mines lying around.
Also add some missing POSIX constants, a new test, and fix
pthread_key_create's return value when we hit the limit.

...and don't pass a non-heap pointer to free(3), either.
This patch replaces the "node** prev" with the clearer "node* prev"
style and fixes the null pointer dereference in the old code. That's
not sufficient to fix the reporter's bug, though. The pthread_internal_t*
for the main thread isn't heap-allocated --- __libc_init_tls causes a
pointer to a statically-allocated pthread_internal_t to be added to
the thread list.

The first NULL pointer check against `attr' suggests that `attr' can
be NULL. Then later `attr' is directly dereferenced, suggesting the
opposite.
if (attr == NULL) {
...
} else {
...
}
...
if (attr->stack_base == ...) { ... }
The public API pthread_create(3) allows NULL, and interprets it as "default".
Our implementation actually swaps in a pointer to the global default
pthread_attr_t, so we don't need any NULL checks in _init_thread. (The other
internal caller passes its own pthread_attr_t.)

I gave up trying to use the usual thread-local buffer idiom; calls to
calloc(3) and free(3) from any of the "dl" functions -- which live in
the dynamic linker -- end up resolving to the dynamic linker's stubs.
I tried to work around that, but was just making things more complicated.
This alternative costs us a well-known TLS slot (instead of the
dynamically-allocated TLS slot we'd have used otherwise, so no difference
there), plus an extra buffer inside every pthread_internal_t.

Several previous changes conspired to make a mess of the thread list
in static binaries. This was most obvious when trying to call
pthread_key_delete(3) on the main thread.

The creation of a thread succeeds even if the requested scheduling
parameters can not be set. This is not POSIX compliant, and even
worse, it leads to a wrong behavior. Let pthread_create() fail in this
case.

Since e19d702b8e, dlsym and friends use recursive mutexes that
require the current thread id, which is not available before the libc
constructor. This prevents us from using dlsym() in .preinit_array.
This change moves TLS initialization from libc constructor to the earliest
possible point - immediately after linker itself is relocated. As a result,
pthread_internal_t for the initial thread is available from the start.
As a bonus, values stored in TLS in .preinit_array are not lost when libc is
initialized.

The problem was due to the fact that, in the case of dynamic executables,
the dynamic linker calls the DT_PREINIT_ARRAY, DT_INIT and DT_INIT_ARRAY
constructors when loading shared libraries and dynamic executables,
*before* calling the executable's entry point (i.e. arch-$ARCH/bionic/crtbegin_dynamic.c)
which in turns call __libc_init() in libc.so, as defined by bionic/libc_init_dynamic.c
The latter did call these constructors array again, mistakenly.
The patch also updates the documentation of many related functions.
Also adds a new section to linker/README.TXT explaining restrictions on
C library usage.
The patch has been tested on a Dream for stability issues with
proprietary blobs:
- H264 decoding works
- Camera + Video recording works
- GPS works
- Sensors work
The tests in system/extra/tests/bionic/libc/common/test_static_cpp_mutex.cpp has been
run and shows the static C++ constructor being called only once.
