Extend struct r_debug to support multiple namespaces [BZ #15971]
Glibc does not provide an interface for debugger to access libraries
loaded in multiple namespaces via dlmopen.

The current rtld-debugger interface is described in the file:

elf/rtld-debugger-interface.txt

under the "Standard debugger interface" heading.  This interface only
provides access to the first link-map (LM_ID_BASE).

1. Bump r_version to 2 when multiple namespaces are used.  This triggers
the GDB bug:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28236

2. Add struct r_debug_extended to extend struct r_debug into a linked-list,
where each element correlates to an unique namespace.
3. Initialize the r_debug_extended structure.  Bump r_version to 2 for
the new namespace and add the new namespace to the namespace linked list.
4. Add _dl_debug_update to return the address of struct r_debug' of a
namespace.
5. Add a hidden symbol, _r_debug_extended, for struct r_debug_extended.
6. Provide the symbol, _r_debug, with size of struct r_debug, as an alias
of _r_debug_extended, for programs which reference _r_debug.

This fixes BZ #15971.
