profiles/base: mask sys-libs/glibc[custom-cflags]
It's far too dangerous and leads to both build-time failures
for glibc itself and runtime crashes for other programs depending
on the flags used.
Mask it so people have to actually unmask it in order to footgun
themselves.
(USE=custom-cflags in make.conf may or may not be advisible
(rather than setting it per-package in package.use), but it's
generally not going to be as dangerous for most/all packages
as it is for glibc, so it makes sense to make it harder to
do it for just glibc.)
