tools/nolibc: Replace `asm` with `__asm__`

Replace `asm` with `__asm__` to support compilation with -std flag.
Using `asm` with -std flag makes GCC think `asm()` is a function call
instead of an inline assembly.

GCC doc says:

For the C language, the `asm` keyword is a GNU extension. When
writing C code that can be compiled with `-ansi` and the `-std`
options that select C dialects without GNU extensions, use
`__asm__` instead of `asm`.

tools/nolibc/stdlib: only reference the external environ when inlined

When building with gcc at -O0 we're seeing link errors due to the
"environ" variable being referenced by getenv(). The problem is that
at -O0 gcc will not inline getenv() and will not drop the external
reference. One solution would be to locally declare the variable as
weak, but then it would appear in all programs even those not using
it, and would be confusing to users of getenv() who would forget to
set environ to envp.

An alternate approach used in this patch consists in always inlining
the outer part of getenv() that references this extern so that it's
always dropped when not used. The biggest part of the function was
now moved to a new function called _getenv() that's still not inlined
by default.

This provides a target "headers_standalone" which installs the nolibc's

kernel headers. This creates a convenient sysroot which is directly

While these functions are often dangerous, forcing the user to work

are:

strncat(): x86:0x33 mips:0x68 arm:0x3c
strlcat(): x86:0x25 mips:0x4c arm:0x2c

The two are quite different, and strncat() is even different from
strncpy() in that it limits the amount of data it copies and will always
terminate the output by one zero, while strlcat() will always limit the
total output to the specified size and will put a zero if possible.

but they were only slightly beneficial on x86 and cost more on others.
