When building on ARM in thumb mode with gcc-11.3 at -O2 or -O3,
nolibc-test segfaults during the select() tests. It turns out that at
this level, gcc recognizes an opportunity for using memset() to zero
the fd_set, but it miscompiles it because it also recognizes a memset
pattern as well, and decides to call memset() from the memset() code:
000122bc <memset>:
122bc: b510 push {r4, lr}
122be: 0004 movs r4, r0
122c0: 2a00 cmp r2, #0
122c2: d003 beq.n 122cc <memset+0x10>
122c4: 23ff movs r3, #255 ; 0xff
122c6: 4019 ands r1, r3
122c8: f7ff fff8 bl 122bc <memset>
122cc: 0020 movs r0, r4
122ce: bd10 pop {r4, pc}
Simply placing an empty asm() statement inside the loop suffices to
avoid this.

After the nolibc includes were split to facilitate portability from
standard libcs, programs that include only what they need may miss
some symbols which are needed by libgcc. This is the case for raise()
which is needed by the divide by zero code in some architectures for
example.
Regardless, being able to include only the apparently needed files is
convenient.
Instead of trying to move all exported definitions to a single file,
since this can change over time, this patch takes another approach
consisting in including the nolibc header at the end of all standard
include files. This way their types and functions are already known
at the moment of inclusion, and including any single one of them is
sufficient to bring all the required ones.

The C standard says that memcmp() must treat the buffers as consisting
of "unsigned chars". If char happens to be unsigned, the casts are ok,
but then obviously the c1 variable can never contain a negative
value. And when char is signed, the casts are wrong, and there's still
a problem with using an 8-bit quantity to hold the difference, because
that can range from -255 to +255.
For example, assuming char is signed, comparing two 1-byte buffers,
one containing 0x00 and another 0x80, the current implementation would
return -128 for both memcmp(a, b, 1) and memcmp(b, a, 1), whereas one
of those should of course return something positive.

When built at -Os, gcc-12 recognizes an strlen() pattern in nolibc_strlen()
and replaces it with a jump to strlen(), which is not defined as a symbol
and breaks compilation. Worse, when the function is called strlen(), the
function is simply replaced with a jump to itself, hence becomes an
infinite loop.
One way to avoid this is to always set -ffreestanding, but the calling
code doesn't know this and there's no way (either via attributes or
pragmas) to globally enable it from include files, effectively leaving
a painful situation for the caller.
Alexey suggested to place an empty asm() statement inside the loop to
stop gcc from recognizing a well-known pattern, which happens to work
pretty fine. At least it allows us to make sure our local definition
is not replaced with a self jump.
The function only needs to be renamed back to strlen() so that the symbol
exists, which implies that nolibc_strlen() which is used on variable
strings has to be declared as a macro that points back to it before the
strlen() macro is redifined.
It was verified to produce valid code with gcc 3.4 to 12.1 at different
optimization levels, and both with constant and variable strings.
In case this problem surfaces again in the future, an alternate approach
consisting in adding an optimize("no-tree-loop-distribute-patterns")
function attribute for gcc>=12 worked as well but is less pretty.

These functions are currently only available on architectures that have
my_syscall6() macro implemented. Since these functions use malloc(),
malloc() uses mmap(), mmap() depends on my_syscall6() macro.
On architectures that don't support my_syscall6(), these function will
always return NULL with errno set to ENOSYS.

size_t strnlen(const char *str, size_t maxlen);
The strnlen() function returns the number of bytes in the string
pointed to by sstr, excluding the terminating null byte ('\0'), but at
most maxlen. In doing this, strnlen() looks only at the first maxlen
characters in the string pointed to by str and never beyond str[maxlen-1].
The first use case of this function is for determining the memory
allocation size in the strndup() function.

"clang -Os" and "gcc -Ofast" without -ffreestanding may ignore memset()
and memmove(), hoping to provide their builtin equivalents, and finally
not find them. Thus we must export these functions for these rare cases.
Note that as they're set in their own sections, they will be eliminated
by the linker if not used. In addition, they do not prevent gcc from
identifying them and replacing them with the shorter "rep movsb" or
"rep stosb" when relevant.

Some functions like raise() and memcpy() are permanently exported because
they're needed by libgcc on certain platforms. However most of the time
they are not needed and needlessly take space.
Let's move them to their own sub-section, called .text.nolibc_<function>.
This allows ld to get rid of them if unused when passed --gc-sections.

While these functions are often dangerous, forcing the user to work
around their absence is often much worse. Let's provide small versions
of each of them. The respective sizes in bytes on a few architectures
are:
strncat(): x86:0x33 mips:0x68 arm:0x3c
strlcat(): x86:0x25 mips:0x4c arm:0x2c
The two are quite different, and strncat() is even different from
strncpy() in that it limits the amount of data it copies and will always
terminate the output by one zero, while strlcat() will always limit the
total output to the specified size and will put a zero if possible.

The direction test inside the loop was not always completely optimized,
resulting in a larger than necessary function. This change adds a
direction variable that is set out of the loop. Now the function is down
to 48 bytes on x86, 32 on ARM and 68 on mips. It's worth noting that other
approaches were attempted (including relying on the up and down functions)
but they were only slightly beneficial on x86 and cost more on others.

Till now memcpy() relies on memmove(), but it's always included for libgcc,
so we have a larger than needed function. Let's implement two unidirectional
variants to copy from bottom to top and from top to bottom, and use the
former for memcpy(). The variants are optimized to be compact, and at the
same time the compiler is sometimes able to detect the loop and to replace
it with a "rep movsb". The new function is 24 bytes instead of 52 on x86_64.
