Add x86_64-linux-gnu emulator

I wanted a tiny scriptable meltdown proof way to run userspace programs
and visualize how program execution impacts memory. It helps to explain
how things like Actually Portable Executable works. It can show you how
the GCC generated code is going about manipulating matrices and more. I
didn't feel fully comfortable with Qemu and Bochs because I'm not smart
enough to understand them. I wanted something like gVisor but with much
stronger levels of assurances. I wanted a single binary that'll run, on
all major operating systems with an embedded GPL barrier ZIP filesystem
that is tiny enough to transpile to JavaScript and run in browsers too.

be compared to something more along the lines of, "the Russians
just used a pencil to write in space", versus spending millions
researching a pen like NASA.
One cost worth noting, concerning stateless API translation, is
file descriptors needed to change from `int` to `int64_t`, thus
requiring a certain degree of added care when porting software.
