With the startup code moved to C, implementing support for
constructors and deconstructors is fairly easy to implement.
Examples for code size impact:
text data bss dec hex filename
21837 104 88 22029 560d nolibc-test.before
22135 120 88 22343 5747 nolibc-test.after
21970 104 88 22162 5692 nolibc-test.after-only-crt.h-changes

Otherwise the different instances of _start_c from each compilation unit
will lead to linker errors:
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccSNvRqs.o: in function `_start_c':
nolibc-test-foo.c:(.text.nolibc_memset+0x9): multiple definition of `_start_c'; /tmp/ccG25101.o:nolibc-test.c:(.text+0x1ea3): first defined here

This allows to generate smaller text/data/dec size.
As the _start_c() function added by crt.h, __stack_chk_init() is called
from _start_c() instead of the assembly _start. So, it is able to mark
it with static now.

As suggested by Thomas, It is able to move the stackprotector
initialization from the assembly _start to the beginning of the new
_start_c(). Let's call __stack_chk_init() in _start_c() as a
preparation.

As the environ and _auxv support added for nolibc, the assembly _start
function becomes more and more complex and therefore makes the porting
of nolibc to new architectures harder and harder.
To simplify portability, this C version of _start_c() is added to do
most of the assembly start operations in C, which reduces the complexity
a lot and will eventually simplify the porting of nolibc to the new
architectures.
The new _start_c() only requires a stack pointer argument, it will find
argc, argv, envp/environ and _auxv for us, and then call main(),
finally, it exit() with main's return status. With this new _start_c(),
the future new architectures only require to add very few assembly
instructions.
As suggested by Thomas, users may use a different signature of main
(e.g. void main(void)), a _nolibc_main alias is added for main to
silence the warning about potential conflicting types.
As suggested by Willy, the code is carefully polished for both smaller
size and better readability with local variables and the right types.
