tools/nolibc: automatically detect necessity to use pselect6

We can automatically detect if pselect6 is needed or not from the kernel
headers. This removes the need to manually specify it.

tools/nolibc: remove the old sys_stat support

The statx manpage [1] shows that it has been supported from Linux 4.11
and glibc 2.28, the Linux support can be checked for all of the
architectures with this command:

$ git grep -r statx v4.11 arch/ include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h \
| grep -E "aarch64|arm|mips|s390|x86|:include/uapi"

Besides riscv and loongarch, all of the nolibc supported architectures
have added sys_statx from Linux v4.11. riscv is mainlined to v4.15,
loongarch is mainlined to v5.19, both of them use the generic unistd.h,
so, they have added sys_statx from their first mainline versions.

The current oldest stable branch is v4.14, only reserving sys_statx
still preserves compatibility with all of the supported stable branches,
So, let's remove the old arch related and dependent sys_stat support
completely.

This is friendly to the future new architecture porting.

tools/nolibc: fix up startup failures for -O0 under gcc < 11.1.0

As gcc doc [1] shows:

Most optimizations are completely disabled at -O0 or if an -O level is
not set on the command line, even if individual optimization flags are
specified.

Test result [2] shows, gcc>=11.1.0 deviates from the above description,
but before gcc 11.1.0, "-O0" still forcely uses frame pointer in the
_start function even if the individual optimize("omit-frame-pointer")
flag is specified.

The frame pointer related operations will change the stack pointer (e.g.
In x86_64, an extra "push %rbp" will be inserted at the beginning of
_start) and make it differs from the one we expected, as a result, break
the whole startup function.

To fix up this issue, as suggested by Thomas, the individual "Os" and
"omit-frame-pointer" optimize flags are used together on _start function
to disable frame pointer completely even if the -O0 is set on the
command line.

tools/nolibc: add autodetection for stackprotector support

The stackprotector support in nolibc should be enabled iff it is also
enabled in the compiler.
Use the preprocessor defines added by gcc and clang if stackprotector
support is enable to automatically do so in nolibc.

This completely removes the need for any user-visible API.

To avoid inlining the lengthy preprocessor check into every user
introduce a new header compiler.h that abstracts the logic away.

As the define NOLIBC_STACKPROTECTOR is now not user-relevant anymore
prefix it with an underscore.

The environ is retrieved from the _start code and is easy to store at
this moment. Let's declare the variable weak and store the value into
it. By not being static it will be visible to all units. By being weak,
if some programs already declared it, they will continue to be able to
use it. This was tested on riscv64 both with environ inherited from
_start and extracted from envp.

tools/nolibc: remove local definitions of O_* flags for open/fcntl

The historic nolibc code did not include asm/fcntl.h and had to define
the various O_RDWR etc macros in each arch-specific file (since such
values differ between certain archs). This was found at least once to
induce bugs due to wrong definitions. Let's get rid of all of them and
include asm/nolibc.h from sys.h instead. This was verified to work
properly on all supported architectures.

tools/nolibc: make compiler and assembler agree on the section around _start

The out-of-block asm() statement carrying _start does not allow the
compiler to know what section the assembly code is being emitted to,
and there's no easy way to push/pop the current section and restore
it. It sometimes causes issues depending on the include files ordering
and compiler optimizations. For example if a variable is declared
immediately before the asm() block and another one after, the compiler
assumes that the current section is still .bss and doesn't re-emit it,
making the second variable appear inside the .text section instead.
Forcing .bss at the end of the _start block doesn't work either because
at certain optimizations the compiler may reorder blocks and will make
some real code appear just after this block.

A significant number of solutions were attempted, but many of them were
still sensitive to section reordering. In the end, the best way to make
sure the compiler and assembler agree on the current section is to place
this code inside a function. Here the function is directly called _start
and configured not to emit a frame-pointer, hence to have no prologue.
If some future architectures would still emit some prologue, another
working approach consists in naming the function differently and placing
the _start label inside the asm statement. But the current solution is
simpler.

It was tested with nolibc-test at -O,-O0,-O2,-O3,-Os for arm,arm64,i386,
mips,riscv,s390 and x86_64.

tools/nolibc: Replace `asm` with `__asm__`

Replace `asm` with `__asm__` to support compilation with -std flag.
Using `asm` with -std flag makes GCC think `asm()` is a function call
instead of an inline assembly.

GCC doc says:

For the C language, the `asm` keyword is a GNU extension. When
writing C code that can be compiled with `-ansi` and the `-std`
options that select C dialects without GNU extensions, use
`__asm__` instead of `asm`.

tools/nolibc/arch: split arch-specific code into individual files

In order to ease maintenance, this splits the arch-specific code into
one file per architecture. A common file "arch.h" is used to include the
right file among arch-* based on the detected architecture. Projects
which are already split per architecture could simply rename these
files to $arch/arch.h and get rid of the common arch.h. For this
reason, include guards were placed into each arch-specific file.
