[RFC PATCH glibc 11/13] support record failure: allow use from constructor

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>]

Expose support_record_failure_init () so constructors can explicitly
initialize the record failure API.

This is preferred to lazy initialization at first use, because
lazy initialization does not cover use in constructors within
forked children processes (forked from parent constructor).
