[PATCH] config: Remove HAVE_BUILTIN_MEMSET macro

[Naohiro Tamura via Libc-alpha <libc-alpha@sourceware.org>]

s patch removed HAVE_BUILTIN_MEMSET macro because GCC 6.2 that is
minimum requirement to compile glibc already support
__builtin_memset()[1].

Interestingly, removed code had a critical bug that is
HAVE_BUILTIN_MEMSET macro never be defined, because yes/no assignment
to libc_cv_gcc_builtin_memset was reversed in configure.ac as below:

1519 if AC_TRY_COMMAND([${CC-cc} -O3 -S conftest.c -o - | grep -F "memset" > /dev/null]);
1520 then
1521   libc_cv_gcc_builtin_memset=no   # shold be yes
1522 else
1523   libc_cv_gcc_builtin_memset=yes  # should be no
1524 fi
1525 rm -f conftest* ])
1526 if test "$libc_cv_gcc_builtin_memset" = yes ; then
1527   AC_DEFINE(HAVE_BUILTIN_MEMSET)
1528 fi

Therefor __builtin_memset() in elf/rtld.c was never be compiled.

 534 # ifdef HAVE_BUILTIN_MEMSET
 535   __builtin_memset (bootstrap_map.l_info, '\0', sizeof (bootstrap_map.l_info));
 536 # else
