Fix __ASSUME_ACCEPT4 issues (bug 16609).
In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-12/msg00008.html>,
Aurelien noted issues with the definition of __ASSUME_ACCEPT4, which I
discussed in more detail in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-12/msg00014.html>; these
are now bug 16609.

As previously noted, __ASSUME_ACCEPT4 is used in two ways:

* In OS-independent code, to mean "accept4 can be assumed to work
  rather than fail with ENOSYS".  It doesn't matter whether it's
  implemented with socketcall or a separate syscall.

* In Linux-specific code, to mean "the socketcall multiplex syscall
  can be assumed to handle the accept4 operation.  When used in
  Linux-specific code, it *never* refers to anything relating to the
  accept4 syscall, only to the socketcall multiplexer.

This patch splits the macro into separate __ASSUME_ACCEPT4_SOCKETCALL,
__ASSUME_ACCEPT4_SYSCALL and __ASSUME_ACCEPT4 to clarify the different
cases involved.  A macro __ASSUME_SOCKETCALL is added for convenience
in writing logic relating to all socketcall architectures.  In
addition, to address the issue of architectures where socketcall
support for accept4 was added before a separate syscall was added (and
so the separate syscall should not be used unless known to be present
or fallback to socketcall is available), a fourth macro
__ASSUME_ACCEPT4_SYSCALL_WITH_SOCKETCALL is added to indicate that the
syscall became available at the same time as socketcall support.  This
is then used in the relevant places in a conditional determining
whether to undefine __NR_accept4 (the simple approach to avoiding the
syscall's presence causing problems; I didn't try to implement runtime
fallback from the syscall to socketcall).

Architecture-specific note: alpha defined __ASSUME_ACCEPT4 for 2.6.33
and later, but actually the syscall was added for alpha in 3.2, so
this patch uses the correct condition for __ASSUME_ACCEPT4_SYSCALL
there.

Tested x86_64, including that disassembly of the installed shared
libraries is unchanged by this patch.
