More ARM testing of binutils support for STT_GNU_IFUNC.
Implemented the GLIBC support for STT_GNU_IFUNC. Simple ARM testcases seem to run correctly.
Coincidentally I was reading about this exact feature at

In the interest of self-education, could you tell me a little bit about what GLIBC support for ifunc entails -- is it basically infrastructure to allow libc functions to be defined as ifuncs, now that the assembler supports it?
