Remove eloop-threshold.h

On both Linux and Hurd the __eloop_threshold() is always a constant
(40 and 32 respectively), so there is no need to always call
__sysconf (_SC_SYMLOOP_MAX) for Linux case (!SYMLOOP_MAX).  To avoid
a name clash with gnulib, rename the new file min-eloop-threshold.h.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and with a build for x86_64-gnu.

For example, Linux implements a complex policy whereby there is a
small limit on the number of direct symlink traversals (a symlink

symlink traversals overall. Hence the SYMLOOP_MAX number should be
the small one, but the limit library functions enforce on users
should be the larger one.
So, we use the larger of the reported SYMLOOP_MAX (if any) and our
own constant MIN_ELOOP_THRESHOLD, below. This constant should be
large enough that it never rules out a file name and directory tree
that the underlying system (i.e. calls to 'open' et al) would
resolve successfully. It should be small enough that actual loops
are detected without a huge number of iterations. */
