glibc: provide fallback for kernels with missing prlimit64
The current version of glibc implements support for kernels down to
3.2.0 (and we make sure to enable such support with apporopriate
--enable-kernel setting). The current RHEL6 operating system is based on
a maintained kernel based on 2.6.32 with lots of backports. We provide
basic support for this specific kernel by patching glibc to provide an
exception for this specific version of kernel. This allows for nixpkgs
software distribution to work on RHEL6 and it does so quite well with
almost no problems. There are, however, a few syscalls that are missing
in the 2.6.32 kernel, one of which is prlimit64. This commit provides a
fallback that uses an older {get,set}rlimit syscalls in cases when
prlimit64 is not available. This should streamline the experience for
nixpkgs users wanting to run it on RHEL6, namely, this fixes one of the
tests in findutils.

/* Build configuration used to build glibc, Info files, and locale
information.
Note that this derivation has multiple outputs and does not respect the
standard convention of putting the executables into the first output. The
first output is `lib` so that the libraries provided by this derivation
can be accessed directly, e.g.
"${pkgs.glibc}/lib/ld-linux-x86_64.so.2"
The executables are put into `bin` output and need to be referenced via
the `bin` attribute of the main package, e.g.
"${pkgs.glibc.bin}/bin/ldd".
The executables provided by glibc typically include `ldd`, `locale`, `iconv`
but the exact set depends on the library version and the configuration.

/* Allow running with RHEL 6 -like kernels. The patch adds an exception
for glibc to accept 2.6.32 and to tag the ELFs as 2.6.32-compatible
(otherwise the loader would refuse libc).
Note that glibc will fully work only on their heavily patched kernels
and we lose early mismatch detection on 2.6.32.
On major glibc updates we should check that the patched kernel supports
all the required features. ATM it's verified up to glibc-2.26-131.
