226aaf3547 Improve memory safety
This commit makes numerous refinements to cosmopolitan memory handling.

The default stack size has been reduced from 2mb to 128kb. A new macro
is now provided so you can easily reconfigure the stack size to be any
value you want. Work around the breaking change by adding to your main:

    STATIC_STACK_SIZE(0x00200000);  // 2mb stack

If you're not sure how much stack you need, then you can use:

    STATIC_YOINK("stack_usage_logging");

After which you can `sort -nr o/$MODE/stack.log`. Based on the unit test
suite, nothing in the Cosmopolitan repository (except for Python) needs
a stack size greater than 30kb. There are also new macros for detecting
the size and address of the stack at runtime, e.g. GetStackAddr(). We
also now support sigaltstack() so if you want to see nice looking crash
reports whenever a stack overflow happens, you can put this in main():

    ShowCrashReports();

Under `make MODE=dbg` and `make MODE=asan` the unit testing framework
will now automatically print backtraces of memory allocations when
things like memory leaks happen. Bugs are now fixed in ASAN global
variable overrun detection. The memtrack and asan runtimes also handle
edge cases now. The new tools helped to identify a few memory leaks,
which are fixed by this change.

This change should fix an issue reported in #288 with ARG_MAX limits.
Fixing this doubled the performance of MKDEPS.COM and AR.COM yet again.

5144c22189 Add test for ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF) and polyfill on BSDs
- Use nullness checks when calling weakly linked functions.

- Avoid typedef for reasons described in Linux Kernel style guide.

- Avoid enum in in Windows headers. Earlier in Cosmo's history all one
  hundred files in libc/nt/enum/ used to be enums and it resulted in
  gigabytes of DWARF data almost as large as everything else in the
  codebase combined.

- Bitfields aren't our friends. They have frequent ABI breakages,
  inconsistent arithmetic across compilers, and different endianness
  between cpus. Compiler authors also haven't invested much roi into
  making bit fields go fast so they produce poor assembly.

- Use memccpy() instead of strncpy() or snprintf() for length-bounded
  copying of C strings. strncpy() is a misunderstood function and
  snprintf() is awesome but memccpy() deserves more love.
