Use the __vdso_clock_gettime fast path via the vDSO on linux/arm64 to
speed up nanotime and walltime. This results in the following

This was originally C code using names with underscores, which were
retained when the code was rewritten into Go. Change the code to use
Go-like camel case names.
The names that come from the ELF ABI are left unchanged.

Move the ELF32 and ELF64 structure definitions into their own files so
they can be reused when vDSO support is added for other architectures.

This is a preparation step for adding vDSO support on linux/386.
This change relocates the elf64 and amd64 specifics from
vdso_linux.go to a new vdso_linux_amd64.go.
This should enable vdso_linux.go to be used for vDSO
support on linux architectures other than amd64.
- Relocate the elf64X structure definitions appropriate to amd64,
and change their names to elfX so that the code in vdso_linux.go
is ELFnn-agnostic.
- Relocate the sym_keys and corresponding __vdso_* variables
appropriate to amd64.
- Provide an amd64-specific constant for the maximum byte size of
an array, and use this in vdso_linux.go to compute constants for
sizing the elf structure arrays traversed in the loaded vDSO.

This is a preparation step for adding vDSO support on linux/386.
In a follow-on change, the vDSO ELF symbol lookup code in this
file will be refactored so it can be used on multiple architectures.
First, move the file to an architecture-neutral file name so that
the change history is preserved. Build tags are added so that the
build behaves as it did before.
vdso_linux_amd64.go will be recreated later, just containing the
amd64 specifics.
If the move and refactor were combined in a single change, then the
history to date would be lost because git would see the existing code
as a new file.

Currently we only support finding symbols in the VDSO using the old
DT_HASH. These days everything uses DT_GNU_HASH instead. To keep up
with the times and future-proof against DT_HASH disappearing from the
VDSO in the future, this commit adds support for DT_GNU_HASH and
prefers it over DT_HASH.
Tested by making sure it found a DT_GNU_HASH section and all of the
expected symbols in it, and then disabling the DT_GNU_HASH path and
making sure the old DT_HASH path still found all of the symbols.
Fixes#19649.

The Linux kernel provides 16 bytes of random data via the auxv vector
at startup. Currently we consume this separately on 386, amd64, arm,
and arm64. Now that we have a common auxv parser, handle _AT_RANDOM in
the common path.

Currently several different Linux architectures have separate copies
of the auxv parser. Bring these all together into a single copy of the
parser that calls out to a per-arch handler for each tag/value pair.
This is in preparation for handling common auxv tags in one place.
