iconv: Fix iconv functions not following symlinks [BZ #32339]
On some file systems iconv do not follow symlinks. This happens because
read_conf_file() function's directory traversal loop reject symbolic
links and then lstat64() call do not follow symlinks.
This commit fixes the directory traversal loop to accept symbolic links
and then follow the link using stat64().
The test works by creating a temporary directory and placing a symbolic
link inside it that points to a configuration file. It then runs
iconvconfig on this directory.
The test passes if iconvconfig successfully follows the symlink and
generates the cache correctly, confirming that the directory traversal
logic now properly handles symbolic links.

Detect if ld.so not contiguous and handle that case in _dl_find_object.
Set l_find_object_processed even for initially loaded link maps,
otherwise dlopen of an initially loaded object adds it to

Test elf/tst-link-map-contiguous-ldso iterates over the loader

It only does that if the l_contiguous flag is set for the link map.
Otherwise, it finds gaps with mmap and checks that _dl_find_object
does not return the ld.so mapping for them.
The test elf/tst-link-map-contiguous-main does the same thing for
the libc.so shared object. This only works if the kernel loaded
the main program because the glibc dynamic loader may fill
the gaps with PROT_NONE mappings in some cases, making it contiguous,
but accesses to individual words may still fault.
Test elf/tst-link-map-contiguous-libc is again slightly different

termios: manual: improve the explanation of various tty concepts
It is a lot easier to understand the meaning of the tty interface if
it is explained from the beginning as conceptually emulating an RS232
serial port. This greatly simplifies the discussions of specific
items like the meaning of line speed.
Distinguish between "modem disconnect request" (deasserting DTR) and
"modem disconnect" (DCD deasserted). Conflating the two terms is
confusing, especially for non-RS232 devices. In particular, on most
systems, a pseudo-terminal will *not* respond to a modem disconnect
request by triggering a modem disconnect event for the purpose of the
HUPCL flag.
It is not necessarily true that the line speed has no effect on
non-serial port devices: e.g. an SPI port may interpret it as the
clock frequency to use; however, SPI does not use asynchronous framing
bits, instead synchronization is handled by the SS# wire. Similarly,
it is common but not by any means universal for interfaces that employ
various forms of fixed data to symbol rate encodings to encode the
data link layer bit rate rather than the physical symbol rate, which
may be higher (e.g. 8B10B) or lower (e.g. QAM/Trellis), without the
encoding or framing overhead.
Finally, a handful of devices use the line rate for entirely
nonstandard purposes. One example is Arduino USB interfaces, which
often interprets changing the baud rate to 1200 baud as a command to
reset the device.
