Since RTM intrinsics are supported in GCC 4.9, we can use them in
pthread mutex lock elision.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/Makefile (CFLAGS-elision-lock.c):
	Add -mrtm.
	(CFLAGS-elision-unlock.c): Likewise.
	(CFLAGS-elision-timed.c): Likewise.
	(CFLAGS-elision-trylock.c): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/hle.h: Rewritten.

LGTM, thanks.

Is it used in any configuration in assembly code?

No:

sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/elision-lock.c:#include "hle.h"
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/elision-trylock.c:#include "hle.h"
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/elision-unlock.c:#include "hle.h"
sysdeps/x86/elide.h:#include <hle.h>

BTW, elide.h isn't used anywhere.

It was used by HTM lock elision on pthread_rwlock_* before new implementation
(cc25c8b4c1196a8c29e9a45b1e096b99a87b7f8c).  Andrew Senkevich has sent a 
patch [1] to re-enable HTM rwlock elision, but his own performance results
seem mixed.

I think we can safely remove all elide.h files from now.
