Bugfix backports from 0.18.0:

• Adjust roundUp for 0 as input by @cgzones in #466

Bugfix backports from 0.17.{0, 1}:

• Fix page size constants for Itanium and SPARC.
• Fix Out-of-bounds read in the function modifySoname by @yairKoskas in #451

• Update to a later glibc elf.h.

  This should not result in any behavioral changes, except for possibly better architecture-specific support.

This is a backport release made from the simplest fixes from 0.16.0.

• Handle glibc-hwcaps on ppc64le on CentOS/RHEL/Rocky 8 for tests/replace-add-needed.sh (fixes #406) by @robert-scheck in #407
• Fix Out-of-bounds read in the function modifyRPath by @xiaoxiaoafeifei in #419
• Fix out of bounds access when increasing program header table by @Bo98 in #411

• In the autotools build system for the tests, pass a few more tool env vars in TESTS_ENVIRONMENT.

  Some of them are not used yet (at all, or at least not in this backport to the 0.15-maintenance branch), but at least STRIP is.

The objective is to prepare a very conservative patch release which can be bumped in Nixpkgs immediately.

• Backport infra changes from later master (August 2025)
• Backport shellcheck fixes to test suite
• Backport C++ code quality fixes (all of #464 but the final two commits)

The behavior of this version should be essentially the same as 0.15.0.
