Remove dl-librecon.h header.
The Linux version used by i686 and m68k provide three overrrides for
generic code:

  1. DISTINGUISH_LIB_VERSIONS to print additional information when
     libc5 is used by a dependency.

  2. EXTRA_LD_ENVVARS to that enabled LD_LIBRARY_VERSION environment
     variable.

  3. EXTRA_UNSECURE_ENVVARS to add two environment variables related
     to aout support.

None are really requires, it has some decades since libc5 or aout
suppported was removed and Linux even remove support for aout files.
The LD_LIBRARY_VERSION is also dead code, dl_correct_cache_id is not
used anywhere.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
