Rewrite Cosmopolitan Ar

The build/bootstrap/ar.com program is now tinier. This change reduces
its size from 140kb to 53kb. Nothing was traded away. Cosmopolitan Ar
performance is now 2x better than llvm-ar largely thanks to using the
copy_file_range() system call. This change homebrews a new allocation
API that addresses the shortcomings of the C standard library design.
Using these new balloc() and reballoc() functions I managed to reduce
memory consumption so much that Cosmpolitan Ar should now use roughly
100x fewer bytes of peak resident memory compared to llvm-ar. Correct
behavior with better compatibility has been assured. Binary output is
now pretty much bit-identical to llvm-ar, as of this change. This can
and should be the living proof we need to show that a better world is
possible for software.
