Implement a new mechanism to let Scudo access the TLS slot
An upcoming change to Scudo will change how we use the TLS slot
in tsd_shared.h, which will be a little easier to deal with if
we can remove the code path that calls pthread_getspecific and
pthread_setspecific. The only known user of this code path is Fuchsia.
We can't eliminate this code path by making Fuchsia use ELF TLS
because although Fuchsia supports ELF TLS, it is not supported within
libc itself. To address this, Roland McGrath on the Fuchsia team has
proposed that Scudo will optionally call a platform-provided function
to access a TLS slot reserved for Scudo. Android also has a reserved
TLS slot, but the code that accesses the TLS slot lives in Scudo.
We can eliminate some complexity and duplicated code by having Android
implement the same mechanism that was proposed for Fuchsia, which is
what this change does. A separate change to Scudo will make use of it.
