elf: Include libc.so.6 as main program in dependency sort (bug 20972)

_dl_map_object_deps always sorts the initially loaded object first
during dependency sorting.  This means it is relocated last in
dl_open_worker.  This results in crashes in IFUNC resolvers without
lazy bindings if libraries are preloaded that refer to IFUNCs in
libc.so.6: the resolvers are called when libc.so.6 has not been
relocated yet, so references to _rtld_global_ro etc. crash.

The fix is to check against the libc.so.6 link map recorded by the
__libc_early_init framework, and let it participate in the dependency
sort.

This fixes bug 20972.
