[COMMITTED PATCH] Clean up stack-coloring macros.


Adding -D switches in sysdeps/.../Makefile is (almost?) always the wrong
thing to do.  It creates an implicit dependency not tracked by Make, and it
is usually not typo-proof and/or -Wundef-friendly.  This change gets rid of
-Wundef warnings for these two macros.

Verified on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu that no code changes
(except some assert line numbers).

	* nptl/allocatestack.c: Include <stack-aliasing.h>.
	* nptl/stack-aliasing.h: New file.
	* sysdeps/i386/i686/stack-aliasing.h: New file.
	* sysdeps/i386/i686/nptl/Makefile: File removed.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/stack-aliasing.h: New file.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/Makefile
	(CFLAGS-pthread_create.c): Variable removed.
