Expose libc_shared_globals to libc.so with symbol
Previously, the address of the global variable was communicated from the dynamic linker to libc.so using a field of KernelArgumentBlock, which is communicated using the TLS_SLOT_BIONIC_PREINIT slot. As long as this function isn't called during relocations (i.e. while executing an ifunc), it always return a non-NULL value. If it's called before its PLT entry is relocated, I expect a crash. I removed the __libc_init_shared_globals function. It's currently empty, and I don't think there's one point in libc's initialization where shared globals should be initialized.
