Hi,
This patchset further improves porting of nolibc to new architectures, it is based on our previous v5 sysret helper series [1].
It mainly shrinks the assembly _start by moving most of its operations to a C version of _start_c() function. and also, it removes the old sys_stat() support by using the sys_statx() instead and therefore, removes all of the arch specific sys_stat_struct.
Tested 'run' on all of the supported architectures:

Notes: - ppc support are ready locally, will be sent out later. - full riscv32/virt support are ready locally, will be sent out later.
Changes:
* tools/nolibc: remove old arch specific stat support
Just like the __NR_statx we used in nolibc-test.c, Let's only reserve sys_statx() and use it to implement the stat() function.
Remove the old sys_stat() and sys_stat_struct completely.
* tools/nolibc: add new crt.h with _start_c
A new C version of _start_c() is added to only require a 'sp' argument and find the others (argc, argv, envp/environ, auxv) for us in C.
* tools/nolibc: include crt.h before arch.h
Include crt.h before arch.h to let _start() be able to call the new added _start_c() in arch-<ARCH>.h.
* tools/nolibc: arm: shrink _start with _start_c tools/nolibc: aarch64: shrink _start with _start_c tools/nolibc: i386: shrink _start with _start_c tools/nolibc: x86_64: shrink _start with _start_c tools/nolibc: mips: shrink _start with _start_c tools/nolibc: loongarch: shrink _start with _start_c tools/nolibc: riscv: shrink _start with _start_c tools/nolibc: s390: shrink _start with _start_c
Move most of the operations from the assembly _start() to the C _start_c(), only require to do minimal operations in assembly _start now.
With this patchset, porting nolibc to a new architecture become easier, the powerpc porting will be added later.
