libc: Use the initial-exec TLS model
This permits more efficient accesses of thread-local variables, which
are heavily used at least by jemalloc and locale-aware code. Note that
on amd64 and i386, jemalloc's thread-local variables already have their
TLS model overridden by defining JEMALLOC_TLS_MODEL.
For now the change is applied only to tested platforms, but should in
principle be enabled everywhere.
