Subject: [PATCH v1 2/3] nolibc/sys: Implement `getpagesize(2)` function

From: Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@...weeb.org>

This function returns the page size used by the running kernel. The
page size value is taken from the auxiliary vector at 'AT_PAGESZ' key.

'getpagesize(2)' is assumed as a syscall becuase the manpage placement
of this function is in entry 2 ('man 2 getpagesize') despite there is
no real 'getpagesize(2)' syscall in the Linux syscall table. Define
this function in 'sys.h'.

Signed-off-by: Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@...weeb.org>

Side note:
This function calls 'getauxval(3)' function that's defined in
'stdlib.h', but since most functions in 'stdlib.h' needs 'sys.h', the
'sys.h' is always included first. Therefore, we need a forward
declaration of 'getauxval(3)' in sys.h.
