This commit applies a few code size optimizations for the wasm target to
the standard library, namely around panics. We notably know that in most
configurations it's impossible for us to print anything in
wasm32-unknown-unknown so we can skip larger portions of panicking that
are otherwise simply informative. This allows us to get quite a nice
size reduction.
Finally we can also tweak where the allocation happens for the
`Box<Any>` that we panic with. By only allocating once unwinding starts
we can reduce the size of a panicking wasm module from 44k to 350 bytes.

Now begins the saga of fixing compilation errors on other platforms...

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.

As discussed in #47268, libstd isn't ready to have certain functionality
disabled yet. Follow wasm's approach of adding no-op modules for all of
the features that we can't implement.
I've placed all of those shims in a shims/ subdirectory, so we (the
CloudABI folks) can experiment with removing them more easily. It also
ensures that the code that does work doesn't get polluted with lots of
useless boilerplate code.

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.

These automatically generated Rust source files allow us to invoke
system calls within CloudABI processes. These will be used by libstd to
implement primitives for I/O, threading, etc.
These source files are normally part of the 'cloudabi' crate. In the
case of libstd, we'd better copy them into the source tree, as having
external dependencies in libstd is a bit messy. Original source files
can be found here:
