syscalls: normalize _exit(2) declerations

exit(3) is implemented by the runtime and performs a number of shutdown
actions before ultimately calling _exit(2) to terminate the program. We
historically named the syscall table entry `exit` rather than `_exit`,
but this requires special handling in libc/libsys to cause the `_exit`
symbol to exist while implementing `exit` in libc.

Declare the syscall as `_exit` and flow that through the system.

Because syscall(SYS_exit, code) is fairly widely used, allow a
configured extra line in syscall.h to define SYS_exit to SYS__exit.

I've found no external uses of __sys_exit() so I've not bothered to
create a compatability version of this private symbol.

Reduce size of rtld by 22% by pulling in less code from libc

Currently RTLD is linked against libc_nossp_pic which means that any libc
symbol used in rtld can pull in a lot of depedencies. This was causing
symbol such as __libc_interposing and all the pthread stubs to be included
in RTLD even though they are not required. It turns out most of these
dependencies can easily be avoided by providing overrides inside of rtld.

This change is motivated by CHERI, where we have an experimental ABI that
requires additional relocation processing to allow the use of function
pointers inside of rtld. Instead of adding this self-relocation code to
RTLD I attempted to remove most function pointers from RTLD and discovered
that most of them came from the libc dependencies instead of being actually
used inside rtld.

A nice side-effect of this change is that rtld is now 22% smaller on amd64.

The number of R_X86_64_RELATIVE relocations that need to be processed on
startup has also gone down from 368 to 187 (almost 50% less).
