This makes breaking changes to add underscores to many non-standard
function names provided by the c library. MODE=tiny is now tinier and
we now use smaller locks that are better for tiny apps in this mode.
Some headers have been renamed to be in the same folder as the build
package, so it'll be easier to know which build dependency is needed.
Certain old misguided interfaces have been removed. Intel intrinsics
headers are now listed in libc/isystem (but not in the amalgamation)
to help further improve open source compatibility. Header complexity
has also been reduced. Lastly, more shell scripts are now available.
This change turns symbol table compression back on using Puff, which
noticeably reduces the size of programs like redbean and Python. The
redbean web server receives some minor API additions for controlling
things like SSL in addition to filling gaps in the documentation.

It's now possible to pass the `-S` or `-SS` flags to sandbox redbean
worker proecsses after they've been forked. The first `-S` flag is
intended to be a permissive builtin policy that limits system calls to
only that which the various parts of redbean serving need. The second
`-SS` flag is intended to be more restrictive, preventing things like
the Lua extensions you download off the web from using the HTTP client
or sockets APIs. In upcoming changes you'll be able to implement your
own Berkeley Packet Filter sandbox programs and load them via Lua.
- Fix a regression with the previous change that broke redbean
- Add chroot(), resource limit, seccomp, and other stuff to redbean
- Write lots and lots of documentation
- Iron out more system call issues
This change makes further effort towards improving our poll()
implementation on the New Technology. The stdin worker didn't work out
so well for Python so it's not being used for now. System call tracing
with the --strace flag should now be less noisy now on Windows unless
you modify the strace.internal.h defines to turn on some optional ones
that are most useful for debugging the system call wrappers.

- System call trace in MODE=dbg now prints inherited FDs and signal mask
This change fixes minor bugs and adds a feature, which lets us store the
ELF symbol table, inside the ZIP directory. We use the path /zip/.symtab
which can be safely removed using a zip editing tool, to make the binary
smaller after compilation. This supplements the existing method of using
a separate .com.dbg file, which is still supported. The intent is people
don't always know that it's a good idea to download the debug file. It's
not great having someone's first experience be a crash report, that only
has numbers rather than symbols. This will help fix that!

- Fix some bugs in blinkenlights
- Fix llvm build breakage
Your Actually Portable Executables now contains a simple virtual memory
that works similarly to the Linux Kernel in the sense that it maps your
physical memory to negative addresses. This is needed to support mmap()
and malloc(). This functionality has zero code size impact. For example
the MODE=tiny LIFE.COM executable is still only 12KB in size.
The APE bootloader code has also been simplified to improve readibility
and further elevate the elegance by which we're able to support so many
platforms thereby enhancing verifiability so that we may engender trust
in this bootloading process.
For the first time ever, all tests in this codebase now pass, when
run automatically on macos, freebsd, openbsd, rhel5, rhel7, alpine
and windows via the network using the runit and runitd build tools

- Let Windows fcntl() be used on socket files descriptors
- Fix Windows fstat() which had an accidental printf statement
- Fix RHEL5 CLOCK_MONOTONIC by not aliasing to CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
This is wonderful. I never could have dreamed it would be possible
to get it working so well on so many platforms with tiny binaries.

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.
