csu: Use ELF constructor instead of _init in libc.so
On !ELF_INITFINI architectures, _init is no longer called by the
dynamic linker.  We can use an ELF constructor instead because the
constructor order does not matter.  (The other constructors are used
to set up libio vtable bypasses and do not depend on this
initialization routine.)
