Before this patch, the `_start` function looks like this:
```
0000000000001170 <_start>:
1170: pop %rdi
1171: mov %rsp,%rsi
1174: lea 0x8(%rsi,%rdi,8),%rdx
1179: and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rsp
117d: sub $0x8,%rsp
1181: call 1000 <main>
1186: movzbq %al,%rdi
118a: mov $0x3c,%rax
1191: syscall
1193: hlt
1194: data16 cs nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
119f: nop
```
Note the "and" to %rsp with $-16, it makes the %rsp be 16-byte aligned,
but then there is a "sub" with $0x8 which makes the %rsp no longer
16-byte aligned, then it calls main. That's the bug!

What actually the x86-64 System V ABI mandates is that right before the
"call", the %rsp must be 16-byte aligned, not after the "call". So the
"sub" with $0x8 here breaks the alignment. Remove it.

An example where this rule matters is when the callee needs to align
its stack at 16-byte for aligned move instruction, like `movdqa` and
`movaps`. If the callee can't align its stack properly, it will result
in segmentation fault.

x86-64 System V ABI also mandates the deepest stack frame should be
zero. Just to be safe, let's zero the %rbp on startup as the content
of %rbp may be unspecified when the program starts. Now it looks like
this:
```
0000000000001170 <_start>:
1170: pop %rdi
1171: mov %rsp,%rsi
1174: lea 0x8(%rsi,%rdi,8),%rdx
1179: xor %ebp,%ebp # zero the %rbp
117b: and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rsp # align the %rsp
117f: call 1000 <main>
1184: movzbq %al,%rdi
1188: mov $0x3c,%rax
118f: syscall
1191: hlt
1192: data16 cs nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
119d: nopl (%rax)
```
