[RESEND PATCH v2] configure: Introduce --enable-symvers option

[Marcin Niestroj <m.niestroj@grinn-global.com>]

Only few libc (e.g. glibc) libraries support full symbol version
resolution in runtime. There are lot of standard libraries that do not
support that, such as dietlibc, musl and uclibc. Hence there is no
reason to generate symbol versions when compiling against them.

Additionally libdevmapper.so was broken when compiled against
uclibc. Runtime linker loader caused calling dm_task_get_info_base()
function recursively, leading to segmentation fault.

Introduce --enable-symvers[=STYLE] option, which allows to choose
between gnu and disabled symbol versioning. By default gnu symbol
versioning is used to provide backward compatibility.
__GNUC__ check is replaced now with GNU_SYMVER, which is generated by
configure script. Additionally ld version script is included only in
case of gnu option, which slightly reduces output size.

Providing --disable-symvers to configure script when building against
uclibc library fixes segmentation fault error described above, due to
lack of several versions of the same symbol in libdevmapper.so
library.

Hi,
I am resending rebased (on master) patch.

Changes v1 -> v2:
 * Set LDDEPS only when --enable-symvers=gnu

 Version 3.0.0
 =============
+  Introduce --enable-symvers[=STYLE] switch.
   Add 'lvm2-activation-generator:' prefix for kmsg messages logged by generator.
   Add After=rbdmap.service to {lvm2-activation-net,blk-availability}.service.
   Reduce max concurrent aios to avoid EMFILE with many devices.
