gmon: Revert addition of tunables to the manualgentoo/glibc-2.37-5

These tunables had to be removed over GLIBC_PRIVATE ABI stability
concerns.

-@deftp {Tunable namespace} glibc.gmon
-This tunable namespace affects the behaviour of the gmon profiler.
-gmon is a component of @theglibc{} which is normally used in
-conjunction with gprof.
-
-When GCC compiles a program with the @code{-pg} option, it instruments
-the program with calls to the @code{mcount} function, to record the
-program's call graph. At program startup, a memory buffer is allocated
-to store this call graph; the size of the buffer is calculated using a
-heuristic based on code size. If during execution, the buffer is found
-to be too small, profiling will be aborted and no @file{gmon.out} file
-will be produced. In that case, you will see the following message
-printed to standard error:
-
-@example
-mcount: call graph buffer size limit exceeded, gmon.out will not be generated
-@end example
-
-Most of the symbols discussed in this section are defined in the header
-@code{sys/gmon.h}. However, some symbols (for example @code{mcount})
-are not defined in any header file, since they are only intended to be
-called from code generated by the compiler.
-@end deftp

-@deftp Tunable glibc.mem.minarcs
-The heuristic for sizing the call graph buffer is known to be
-insufficient for small programs; hence, the calculated value is clamped
-to be at least a minimum size. The default minimum (in units of
-call graph entries, @code{struct tostruct}), is given by the macro
-@code{MINARCS}. If you have some program with an unusually complex
-call graph, for which the heuristic fails to allocate enough space,
-you can use this tunable to increase the minimum to a larger value.
-@end deftp
-
-@deftp Tunable glibc.mem.maxarcs
-To prevent excessive memory consumption when profiling very large
-programs, the call graph buffer is allowed to have a maximum of
-@code{MAXARCS} entries. For some very large programs, the default
-value of @code{MAXARCS} defined in @file{sys/gmon.h} is too small; in
-that case, you can use this tunable to increase it.
-
-Note the value of the @code{maxarcs} tunable must be greater or equal
-to that of the @code{minarcs} tunable; if this constraint is violated,
-a warning will printed to standard error at program startup, and
-the @code{minarcs} value will be used as the maximum as well.
-
-Setting either tunable too high may result in a call graph buffer
-whose size exceeds the available memory; in that case, an out of memory
-error will be printed at program startup, the profiler will be
-disabled, and no @file{gmon.out} file will be generated.
