vdso: Improve cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations
The actual intention is that no dynamic relocation exists in the VDSO. For this the VDSO build validates that the resulting .so file does not have any relocations which are specified via $(ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS) per architecture, which is fragile as e.g. ARM64 lacks an entry for R_AARCH64_RELATIVE. Aside of that ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS is a misnomer as it checks for relative relocations too. However, some GNU ld ports produce unneeded R_*_NONE relocation entries. If a port fails to determine the exact .rel[a].dyn size, the trailing zeros become R_*_NONE relocations. E.g. ld's powerpc port recently fixed https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29540). R_*_NONE are generally a no-op in the dynamic loaders. So just ignore them. Remove the ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS defines and just validate that the resulting .so file does not contain any R_* relocation entries except R_*_NONE.
