The current lookup prefers a strong definition to a STB_WEAK definition
(similar to glibc pre-2.2 behavior) which does not conform to the ELF
specification.
The non-compliant behavior provoked https://reviews.llvm.org/D4418
which was intended to fix -shared-libasan but introduced
new problems (and caused some sanitizer tests (e.g.
test/asan/TestCases/interception_failure_test.cpp) to fail): sanitizer
interceptors are STB_GLOBAL instead of STB_WEAK, so defining a second
STB_GLOBAL interceptor can lead to a multiple definition linker error.
For example, in a -fsanitize={address,memory,...} build, libc functions
like malloc/free/strtol/... cannot be provided by user object files.

for discussions.
This patch implements the ELF-compliant behavior when LD_DYNAMIC_WEAK is
set. STB_WEAK wrestling in symbol lookups in `Search the dynamic linker
itself` are untouched.
