Subject: [PATCH] confstr: add support for _CS_GNU_LIBC_VERSION
This provides a way to detect at runtime if musl is the libc implementation,
and to check its version.
This functionality is useful when introspecting the system, to determine
binary compatibility of on packaging applications. An example use-case
can be demonstrated by Python PEP 656 [1], whose implementation
currently require spawning a new process and parsing the output of
ld.so to detect the musl version.
