(handle_preload_list): Pass through “where” argument to
do_preload.
(dl_main): Handle "--preload" and add second call to
handle_preload_list.
* elf/Makefile (tests-special): Add tst-rtld-preload.out.
(tst-rtld-preload-OBJS): Set variable.
(tst-rtld-preload.out): New target.
* elf/tst-rtld-preload.sh: New file.
