ddfd3c0d7e linux: stack-area handling with recent Linux kernels
We moved the stack-area segment 128 MiB behind text and data to comply
with assumptions in the kernel ELF loader.

This commit also reenables static binaries on linux and removes the
unused stack_area.stdlib.ld script.

7f73e5e879 base: hide internals of the Thread API
This patch moves details about the stack allocation and organization
the base-internal headers. Thereby, I replaced the notion of "thread
contexts" by "stacks" as this term is much more intuitive. The fact that
we place thread-specific information at the bottom of the stack is not
worth introducing new terminology.

41b9f6bd03 ldso: Make truly self relocatable
On Linux the linker can now be loaded at arbitrary addresses, this became
necessary for newer kernel versions. The 'linux_arm' target is not supported.

ed52d5a211 Introduce 'spec' subdirectories to outline aspects
Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline
within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories
at the corresponding levels, e.g.:

  repos/base/include/spec
  repos/base/mk/spec
  repos/base/lib/mk/spec
  repos/base/src/core/spec
  ...

Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was
used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are
now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the
kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform'
directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.
