When a new thread is created by a thread with GCS enabled the GCS needs
to be specified along with the regular stack.

Unfortunately plain clone() is not extensible and existing clone3()
users will not specify a stack so all existing code would be broken if
we mandated specifying the stack explicitly.  For compatibility with
these cases and also x86 (which did not initially implement clone3()
support for shadow stacks) if no GCS is specified we will allocate one
so when a thread is created which has GCS enabled allocate one for it.
We follow the extensively discussed x86 implementation and allocate
min(RLIMIT_STACK, 2G).  Since the GCS only stores the call stack and not
any variables this should be more than sufficient for most applications.

GCSs allocated via this mechanism will be freed when the thread exits.

the code has RLIMIT_STACK/2

(which is what i expect on arm64, since gcs entry size
is min stack frame / 2 if the stack is correctly aligned)

i see gcs still mapped after thread exit when testing.

no /2 (i think this should be divided)

not sure why this logic fails to free thread gcs
(created with clone3 in glibc)

other the gcs leak, my tests pass.
