The hwcap value is now in linux 5.10 and in glibc bits/hwcap.h, so use
that definition.

Move the definition to init-arch.h so all ifunc selectors can use it
and expose an "mte" shorthand for mte enabled runtime.

For now we allow user code to enable tag checks and use PROT_MTE
mappings without libc involvment, this is not guaranteed ABI, but
can be useful for testing and debugging with MTE.

Why not use mte_state and thus also enable MTE selection for the case
of tunables force enable it for USE_MTAG support?

that's what the comment is meant to explain.

mte is enabled via a prctl, in principle user code can do that
(e.g. i have test code that does that as well as ld_preloaded
malloc implementation, this only works if glibc is mte safe
independently of whether glibc has heap tagging or not. no ABI
contract means that we don't guarantee that glibc will be
mte safe because we don't know yet how this will be used, the
plan is to have some form of opt-in/out mechanism eventually
to request particular mte state, but for now i want glibc to
be mte safe on any mte system)

Ok, fair enough.  The patch looks ok for 2.33.
