This is the result of the work on tools/gen_stubs.zig. It now uses the
preprocessor to emit different symbols and sizes depending on the
architecture. The data is collected directly from multiple libc.so files
on disk built with upstream musl.
Closes#8178
Addresses #8896 for musl
There is still room for further improvement to this, which is to
put `.ds` directives after symbols that are not followed by aliases, to
avoid the potential problem of a linker believing that all symbols are
aliases of each other.
tools/gen_stubs.zig now cuts out the middle man and operates directly on
the libc.so ELF file. it outputs accurate .size directives for objects.
std.elf gains an STV enum.

armv8 removed the coprocessor instructions other than cp14, so
on an armv8 system the related hwcaps should never be set.
new llvm complains about the use of coprocessor instructions in
armv8-a mode (even though they are never executed at runtime),
so ifdef them out when musl is built for armv8.
<dalias> i think the patch looks ok
Upstream commits:
* 8eb49e0485fc547eead9e47200bbee6d81f391c1

* f0eb2e77b2132a88e2f00d8e06ffa7638c40b4bc
These will be in the next version of musl, so no harm carrying them
here.
also start prefering NtDll API. so far:
* NtQueryInformationFile
* NtClose
adds a performance workaround for windows unicode conversion. but that
should probably be removed before merging
