Hi,

This patchset further improves porting of nolibc to new architectures,
it is based on our previous v5 sysret helper series [1].

It mainly shrinks the assembly _start by moving most of its operations
to a C version of _start_c() function. and also, it removes the old
sys_stat() support by using the sys_statx() instead and therefore,
removes all of the arch specific sys_stat_struct.

Tested 'run' on all of the supported architectures:

               arch/board | result

  Notes:
  - ppc support are ready locally, will be sent out later.
  - full riscv32/virt support are ready locally, will be sent out later.

Changes:

* tools/nolibc: remove old arch specific stat support

    Just like the __NR_statx we used in nolibc-test.c, Let's only
    reserve sys_statx() and use it to implement the stat() function.

    Remove the old sys_stat() and sys_stat_struct completely.

* tools/nolibc: add new crt.h with _start_c

    A new C version of _start_c() is added to only require a 'sp' argument
    and find the others (argc, argv, envp/environ, auxv) for us in C.

* tools/nolibc: include crt.h before arch.h

    Include crt.h before arch.h to let _start() be able to call the new
    added _start_c() in arch-<ARCH>.h.

* tools/nolibc: arm: shrink _start with _start_c
  tools/nolibc: aarch64: shrink _start with _start_c
  tools/nolibc: i386: shrink _start with _start_c
  tools/nolibc: x86_64: shrink _start with _start_c
  tools/nolibc: mips: shrink _start with _start_c
  tools/nolibc: loongarch: shrink _start with _start_c
  tools/nolibc: riscv: shrink _start with _start_c
  tools/nolibc: s390: shrink _start with _start_c

    Move most of the operations from the assembly _start() to the C
    _start_c(), only require to do minimal operations in assembly _start
    now.

With this patchset, porting nolibc to a new architecture become easier,
the powerpc porting will be added later.

Best regards,
Zhangjin
