[OE-core] [PATCHv2] glibc: Separate out AArch64 multilib loader symlink creation

Until now, glibc was responsible for creating an AArch64 dynamic loader
symlink if required for ABI compatibility.

Unfortunately, using multilib with AArch64 caused the rmdir in
glibc-package.inc:do_poststash_install_cleanup to fail because that task
did not expect to find the dynamic loader symlink in /lib.

Also, although glibc-package.inc:do_install_append_aarch64 made use of
${nonarch_base_libdir} to create the dynamic loader symlink in a way that
was compatible with usrmerge, it unfortunately explicitly added only /lib
to libc_baselibs, so the symlink was not packaged correctly when using
usrmerge.

Attempting to fix both of these problems within glibc-package.inc in
various ways created a bit of a mess. It seemed much simpler to invent a
new package for the symlink and have glibc RDEPEND on that package if
required.

Richard Purdie suggested[1] that ${nonarch_base_libdir} should not be used
in this way. I've switched to using ${root_prefix}/lib which continues to
work both with and without usrmerge.

Unfortunately, it appears not to be possible to specify the name of the
loader via a variable with an override, since the _aarch64 override is
applied even for _aarch64-be.

Build-tested and inspected core-image-minimal rootfs with:

* AArch64 no multilib (real loader in correct place)
 MACHINE = "qemuarm64"

* AArch64 multilib (symlink in correct place)
 MACHINE = "qemuarm64"
 MULTILIBS = "multilib:lib32"
 DEFAULTTUNE_virtclass-multilib-lib32 = "armv7at-neon"
 require conf/multilib.conf

* AArch64 usrmerge (real loader in correct place)
 DISTRO_FEATURES += "usrmerge"
 MACHINE = "qemuarm64"

* AArch64 multilib usrmerge (symlink in correct place)
 DISTRO_FEATURES += "usrmerge"
 MACHINE = "qemuarm64"
 MULTILIBS = "multilib:lib32"
 DEFAULTTUNE_virtclass-multilib-lib32 = "armv7at-neon"
 require conf/multilib.conf

* AArch64 big-endian multilib usrmerge (symlink in correct place)
 DEFAULTTUNE = "aarch64_be"
 DISTRO_FEATURES += "usrmerge"
 MACHINE = "qemuarm64"
 MULTILIBS = "multilib:lib32"
 DEFAULTTUNE_virtclass-multilib-lib32 = "armv7at-neon"
 require conf/multilib.conf

* x86 (real loader in correct place)
 MACHINE = "qemux86"
