1. Make library linking survive -Wl,--as-needed …

   The libglobus_rsl_assist library is an empty backwards compatibility
   library that is there to fulfil link dependencies from earlier
   versions of GT/GCT. The functionality that used to be provided by this
   library now is in libglobus_rsl. When linking the libglobus_rsl_assist
   library it links to libglobus_rsl (-lglobus_rsl), so that loading the
   empty compatibility library will load the globus_rsl library. However,
   many Linux distribution by default uses -Wl,--as-needed when linking
   during package builds (rpm/dpkg). This means that the link from
   libglobus_rsl_assist to libglobus_rsl is lost. This commit adds a
   dummy function that references a symbol in the libglobus_rsl library
   so that the link information is not removed when linking using
   -Wl,--as-needed.
   
   In addition this commit declares the symbol "lvl" in libglobus_rsl
   static. This symbol is not in the globus_* namespace and has a very
   generic name and should therefore not by globally accessible.
