Subject: [PATCH RFC] tools/nolibc: add support for constructors and
 destructors

With the startup code moved to C, implementing support for
constructors and deconstructors is fairly easy to implement.

Examples for code size impact:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  21837	    104	     88	  22029	   560d	nolibc-test.before
  22135	    120	     88	  22343	   5747	nolibc-test.after
  21970	    104	     88	  22162	   5692 nolibc-test.after-only-crt.h-changes

The sections are defined by [0].

Note:

This is only an RFC as I'm not 100% sure it belong into nolibc.
But at least the code is visible as an example.

Also it is one prerequisite for full ksefltest_harness.h support in
nolibc, should we want that.
