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 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 allows resource-constrained environments to benefit from the
space savings of dynamic linking. This is not meant to be used in
the general case.

- Bazel: Use "incompatible" flag to fix fully static linking. The flag will
become the default in Bazel 4.0.
- Bazel: Deduplicate features into `FULLY_STATIC_FEATURES` variable
- CMake: Remove the testcase properties. `sapi::base` already sets
`POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE`. Note that `-pie` is incompatible with `-static`
and `-static-pie` requires GCC 8 and GLIBC 2.27.

This allows us to remove some uses of macros.

- 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

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.
