sys-libs/glibc: improve USE=systemtap description
See https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/LinkerInterface and
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/DistroAdvice#sys.2Fsdt.h_probes.

gdb makes use of the interface provided/gated by USE=systemtap and it
isn't systemtap-specific at all other than using its headers/macros.
