Linking glibc in fully static mode is mostly unsupported. While such binaries
can easily be produced, conflicting symbols will often make them crash at
runtime. This happens because glibc will always (try to) load some dynamically
linked libraries, even when statically linked. This includes things like the
resolver, unicode/locale handling and others.
Internally at Google, this is not a concern due to the way glibc is being built
there. But in order to make all of our tests run in the open-source version of
this code, we need to change strategy a bit.
As a rule of thumb, glibc can safely be linked statically if a program is
resonably simple and does not use any networking of locale dependent
facilities. Calling syscalls directly instead of the corresponding libc
wrappers works as well, of course.
This change adjusts linker flags and sandbox policies to be more compatible
with regular Linux distributions.
Tested:
- `ctest -R '[A-Z].*'` (all SAPI/Sandbox2 tests)

Move VecStringToCharPtrArr before fork, so that it cannot deadlock when other thread holds allocation lock.

This bug only manifests if a lot of fds are open when global forkserver is started.
If the allocated exec_fd number was equal Comms::kSandbox2ClientCommsFD then it would be replaced by the comms fd and result in EACCESS at execveat.

Recenly, Debian based distribution kernels started activating the Tomoyo Linux
Security Module by default. Even if it is not used, this changes the behavior
of `/dev/fd` (pointing to `/proc/self/fd` by default), which Sandbox2 needs during
`execveat()`.
As a result, Sandbox2 and Sandboxed API always fail without one of the following
conditions
- `/proc` mounted within the sandboxee
- `/dev` mounted
- `/dev/fd` symlinked to `/proc/self/fd` in the sandboxee's mount namespace

- https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.12.2/source/security/tomoyo/domain.c#L729
To find out whether your system has Tomoyo enabled, use this command, similar to
what this change does in code:
```
$ cat /sys/kernel/security/lsm | grep tomoyo && echo "Tomoyo active"
capability,yama,apparmor,tomoyo
Tomoyo active
```
The config setting `CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY` controls which LSMs are built into
the kernel by default.

This change should make it less confusing where utility code comes from.
Having it in two places made sense when we were debating whether to publish
Sandbox2 separately, but not any longer.
Follow-up changes will move `sandbox2/util.h` and rename the remaining
`sandbox2/util` folder.

This removes our own fork of `absl::StatusOr<>`. Sandboxed API still includes
a custom matcher for Googletest, as that is not open source yet. For
compatibility, the `statusor.h` header is still retained and now aliases
`sapi::StatusOr<>` to `absl::StatusOr<>`.

When embedding SAPI in an external CMake project, the version of
`protobuf_generate_cpp` that we lifted from upstream protobuf produces
the wrong generated file paths.
For example, given this project structure:
```
/parent/
+-- myproject/
+-- myproject_build/ <- CMake build directory
+-- sandboxed-api/ <- Checkout from GitHub
```
And a CMake file in `myproject/CMakeLists.txt` that embeds SAPI like
this:
```
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12)
project(SandboxedTest LANGUAGES CXX)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
add_subdirectory(
${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/../sandboxed-api
${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/sandboxed-api
)
```
Then `protobuf_generate_cpp` correctly invokes the protoc compiler to
generate
`/parent/myproject_build/sandboxed-api/sandboxed_api/proto_arg.proto.pb.cc'.
However, the path of the generated source file that is passed to the C++
compiler will be
`/parent/myproject_build/sandboxed-api/sandboxed_api/../../myproject_build/sandboxed-api/sandboxed_api/proto_arg.pb.cc`.
Note the duplicated project build directory component in the
canonicalized version:
`/parent/myproject_build/myproject_build/sandboxed-api/sandboxed_api/proto_arg.pb.cc`.
This change simple omits the computation of any relative file paths and
simply uses `_pb_PROTOC_OUT_DIR` which defauls to
`CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR`, which should always contain the correct
path.

This addresses a latency issue - chroot_fs_refs called inside pivot_root
in the kernel can take several milliseconds on machines with many threads
running.
This might not always reduce latency for custom forkservers, as additional
fork can be more costly than pivot_root.

The temporary solution for binaries/tests that fully statically linked is to
link against `gflags` using `-Wl,--whole-archive`. This will no longer be
necessary, once Abseil ships with logging. Then we can (finally) use Abseil
flags and use a logging library that does not depend on a different flags
library.
