Convert __builtin_expect to __glibc_(un)likely throughout elf/. zack/elf-builtin-expect-conversion
In the previous patch I didn't change a use of __builtin_expect to
__glibc_(un)likely that happened to be right next to the code I was
actually working on; Andreas asked why not, and I said that there were
a bunch more uses of __builtin_expect in that file and I would convert
them all in a separate patch.  This is that patch, converting all of
elf/.

I would appreciate someone checking over this patch very carefully
indeed.  In a whole bunch of places, __builtin_expect was used in a
way that did not map mechanically to the newer convention.  The test
suite caught one mistake; I'm not confident I didn't make any more.

Writing this patch gave me a deeper appreciation for why we _want_ to
switch to __glibc_(un)likely, but also for how difficult it can be.  I
now think that people should _not_ be asked to change existing uses of
__builtin_expect in a patch whose purpose is something else.

	__glibc_unlikely, as appropriate, throughout.
