csu: Use ELF constructor instead of _init in libc.so
On !ELF_INITFINI architectures, _init is no longer called by the dynamic linker. We can use an ELF constructor instead because the constructor order does not matter. (The other constructors are used to set up libio vtable bypasses and do not depend on this initialization routine.)
