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)

- Link `zipe.c` statically (safe)
- Update policy to allow any use of `stat()`

This fixes a couple of tests in the open source version of the code.
Internally, since we are using a different ELF loader, the page offset
will always be zero. Hence we never notices this was broken.

Note that `//sandboxed_api/sandbox2:stack_trace_test` may still fail for
unrelated reasons, as we are linking libc statically, which is brittle. A
follow-up change will fix this.

Newer versions of libunwind use `PTRACE_GETREGSET` to obtain register data.
This change should make it easier to upgrade the libunwind dependency.

- Allow to specify multiple syscalls with `BlockSyscallsWithErrno()`
- Add functions to allow `unlink()` and `rename()` in all their spellings

__sanitizer_sandbox_on_notify is not tsan specific.
It's empty for other sanitizers now, but we are going to need it soon.

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

Different versions of the `elf.h` header define their own integer types. For
example, even on LP64 systems, a 64-bit ELF integer types may decay into
`unsigned long long` instead of `unsigned long`.
This change replaces the various overloads with a single function template
that is well-defined for all integral types.
