csu: move common code to libc

Description

csu: move common code to libc

Why? Most trivial point, it shaves around 600 bytes from the dynamic
binaries on amd64. Less trivial, the removed code is no longer part of
the ABI, and we can ship updates to it with libc updates. Right now most
of the csu is linked into the binaries and require us to do somewhat
tricky ABI compat when it needs to change. For instance, the init_array
change would be much simpler and does not require note tagging if we
have init calling code in libc.

This could be improved more, by splitting dynamic and static
initialization. For instance, &_DYNAMIC tests can be removed then.
Such change, nonetheless, would require building libc three times.
I left this for later, after this change stabilizes, if ever.
