Let's move ldsodefs.h into sysdeps/generic, define additional files in
the subdirs (e.g., sysdeps/mips/elf) which need additional definitions
and then use #include <sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h> in these files.

Yes, use DL_RO_DYN_SECTION, sounds better.

For consistency and to avoid people slipping in direct uses of d_ptr
values in generic files it might be worthwhile to change everything.
