kernel: provide kernel-level equivalents for math.h and stdlib.h
GCC 13 is more strict about what C++ features are available in a freestanding
(= build without standard library) build. The `stdlib.h` and `math.h` headers
are redefined as part of libstdc++. If the object is built as freestanding, it
should be assumed that none of the standard library functions are available.
The solution in Haiku has been to add part of the standard library into the
kernel shared object. The method of exposing them has been to allow the
use of `stdlib.h` and `math.h` in the kernel and in kernel add-ons.
This change allows that approach to continue. What it does, is that it defines
specific headers which will be picked up when a module is built using private
kernel headers. When building for the kernel (or for the boot module), it will
bypass GCC 13's libstdc++ default behaviour of not including the POSIX/platform
header with all the function definitions.
An alternative to be considered for the longer term is to specifically define
the parts of the C/C++ standard library that is available in the kernel in
these headers, or create custom headers when building kernel modules (which is
how Linux approaches it).
