cover Update prelinker to latest upstream version

Update the prelinker to the latest (yoctoproject) cross_prelinker version.

This syncs to the latest Red Hat version, provides a new rtld emulation, and now can identify bad GNU_HASH entries to help detect a bug in the hash generation observed on PPC64.

The following changes since commit 41b7c955cfdc7b4d5c667c8a8742237d5edaca4f:

PATCH 1/1 prelink: Update to latest upstream version

[YOCTO #1374] - Fixes underlying issue
[YOCTO #1331] - Detects bad GNU_HASH tables

Update to the latest upstream version. This includes a number of generic fixes, as well as a complete refresh of the prelink-rtld.

(Prelink-rtld is similar to the ld.so/ldd functionality on a normal system.)

The new prelink-rtld update syncs to eglibc-2.13 and enables new symbol resolution, include GNU_UNIQUE, that was causing problems on x86_64 and potentially other architectures with C++.

An assert has been added to also detect a bad GNU_HASH situation which was detected on some PPC64 systems. The underlying problem is within the toolchain, however prelink was making it worse leaving the problem undetected.
