crt0 uses a helper function in a MD src/libexec/ld.so .h file (rather than
reproducing the relevant defines and code in a different place) to perform
minor relocations. If things go very wrong, it would call _dl_exit() --
a locally defined crt0 function which is syscall exit(2). We don't need
to call exit(2) for this obscure case which doesn't happen and provides no
debugging information. An 'abort' is going to provide better information.
So let's change the function name to _dso_abort() and make it a single
illegal instruction.

crt0 MD _dl_exit() performs syscall to SYS_exit directly, but then
some of these functions were returning. That makes the +1word address
a fairly strong and easily located gadget. Put a hard-trap
instruction after the syscall. This remains a gadget for 'terminal
system' calls (such as execve), but hey that's why we have pledge w/o
"exec" throughout the tree.
Quite surprisingly, hppa's delay-slot load of SYS_exit makes it the
safest of the bunch, not that this helps anyone.

Rearrange C runtime bits: now that ld.so exports environ and __progname,
move their definitions and initialization in static links to libc.a
Make crt0 always invoke a new func _csu_finish() in libc to process the auxv
and to either register the ld.so cleanup function (in dynamic links) or
initialize environ and __progname and do MC_DISABLE_KBIND (in static links).
In libc, get pagesize from auxv; cache that between getpagesize() and
sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE)

We don't need to calculate the load offset. This also means we don't need
to calculate the GOT address anymore.

Fetch the _GLOBAL)OFFSET_TABLE_ and _DYNAMIC pointers in a way that's
compatible with the Secure-PLT ABI.

Now that ld(1) will generate a read-only GOT for truly static binaries, we
no longer have to use mprotect(2) to take away PROT_WRITE. This fixes ld -Z
and paves the way for the new Secure-PLT ABI.
