Subject: [PATCH] selftests/size: rework to use main instead of _start

In a -ffreestanding environment without glibc, we shouldn't be able to
call either getenv or printf. It seems that printf() happens to work
fine, but it ends up using the glibc getenv(), which doesn't work unless
we call the glibc _start() function first.
Using _start() was originally meant as an optimization to reduce the
memory consumption of the test program itself, in order to get a more
accurate representation of the available RAM at system boot time.
However, it causes more problems than it helps, especially when run from
a shell script that also consumes some memory.

get_size[2838]: segfault at ffffffffffffffd0 ip 000000000040538b
   sp 00007ffc41980668 error 5 in get_size[400000+b0000]

   exe=\"/opt/kselftests/next/size/get_size\" sig=11 res=1

Rework to get_size test to use main (and printf) instead of _start. All
other seftest tests uses main and not _start.
