glibc_multi: add output "static"

This change enables static compilation with glibc in a multilib setup. For
building a nix shell the output can now be referenced as follows:

devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {
packages = [
pkgs.glibc_multi.static
];
};

In the implementation I was forced to make two design decisions:
1. The directory `$static/lib64` has to be a "real" directory and not a symlink.
Otherwise, the path to this directory is not added to $NIX_LDFLAGS, which in
turn causes the files to not be visible to gcc and ld during the build
process (for details see `pkgs/build-support/bintools-wrapper/setup-hook.sh`
line 16).
2. The directories `$static/lib` and `$static/lib64` have to contain symlinks
to both the files used for static and for dynamic linking (i.e. the outputs
of `static` and `out` of the 32 and 64 bit variant of glibc). Without this,
dynamic linking still works, however the resulting binaries will segfault.
