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)

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

Only externally visible changes should be a few changed includes as well as
some formatting changes.

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 is a work in progress:
- Syscall tables need work
- Only tested on real hardware using one of our test hosts
As a drive-by, this change also enables the open source version to function on
POWER.
Another side-effect of this change is that the default policies no longer
check for different host architectures at runtime. On x86_64, we do not need
to check for PPC or AArch64 specifice and vice versa.

This allows us to remove some uses of macros.
Related changes:
- Make it clear that we support hosting sandboxed binaries from 64-bit
processes only. CPU architectures are x86-64 and POWER64 (little endian).
- Introduced CPU architecture macros, abstracting away compiler specifics
