Define various symbols conditionally in shared libraries
The values of symbols in shared libraries like _end, _edata, and
__bss_start are generally not that useful outside of the shared
library. This patch defines them conditionally with PROVIDE, since a
shared library might need the local value. An example is glibc ld.so
local access to "_begin", "_etext" and "_end". (ld.so gains access to
the local values by making the references using hidden visibility.
That makes the definitions hidden too.)
We can't use PROVIDE_HIDDEN in the linker scripts because the shared
library might need the value of the symbol in the executable. An
example is freebsd libc dynamic access to "_end".
