… to make the name `alloc` available.

Previously, the `guard::init()` and `guard::current()` functions were
returning a `usize` address representing the top of the stack guard,
respectively for the main thread and for spawned threads. The `SIGSEGV`
handler on `unix` targets checked if a fault was within one page below
that address, if so reporting it as a stack overflow.
Now `unix` targets report a `Range<usize>` representing the guard
memory, so it can cover arbitrary guard sizes. Non-`unix` targets which
always return `None` for guards now do so with `Option<!>`, so they
don't pay any overhead.
For `linux-gnu` in particular, the previous guard upper-bound was
`stackaddr + guardsize`, as the protected memory was *inside* the stack.
This was a glibc bug, and starting from 2.27 they are moving the guard
*past* the end of the stack. However, there's no simple way for us to
know where the guard page actually lies, so now we declare it as the
whole range of `stackaddr ± guardsize`, and any fault therein will be
called a stack overflow. This fixes #47863.

Though CloudABI is strongly inspired by POSIX, its absence of features
that don't work well with capability-based sandboxing makes it different
enough that adding bits to sys/unix will make things a mess. This change
therefore adds CloudABI specific platform code under sys/cloudabi and
borrows parts from sys/unix that can be used without changes.
One of the goals of this implementation is to build as much as possible
directly on top of CloudABI's system call layer, as opposed to using the
C library. This is preferred, as the system call layer is supposed to be
stable, whereas the C library ABI technically is not. An advantage of
this approach is that it allows us to implement certain interfaces, such
as mutexes and condition variables more optimally. They can be lighter
than the ones provided by pthreads.
This change disables some modules that cannot realistically be
implemented right now. For example, libstd's pathname abstraction is not
designed with POSIX *at() (e.g., openat()) in mind. The *at() functions
are the only set of file system APIs available on CloudABI. There is no
global file system namespace, nor a process working directory.
Discussions on how to port these modules over are outside the scope of
this change.
Apart from this change, there are still some other minor fixups that
need to be made to platform independent code to make things build. These
will be sent out separately, so they can be reviewed more thoroughly.
