2f9d430c00 base-linux: 64-bit ARM support
This patch adds support for running Genode/Linux on the AARCH64
architecture.

- The kernel-agnostic startup code (crt0) had to be extended to
  capture the initial stack pointer, which the Linux kernel uses
  to pass the process environment. This is in line with the
  existing startup code for x86_32 and x86_64.

- The link order of the host libraries linked to lx_hybrid
  programs had to be adjusted such that libgcc appears at last
  because the other libraries depend on symbols provided by
  libgcc.

- When using AARCH64 Linux as host, one can execute run scripts
  via 'make run/<script> KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux' now.

78497c03ca base-linux: enabled seccomp
base-linux uses seccomp to reduce the available system calls
to the minimum set needed to run base-linux. There are still
some syscalls that allow accessing global state which should
be further reduced.

The combination of seccomp and socket descriptor caps should
provide an intermediate level of security for base-linux
thereby enabling base-linux as a migration path from using
the Linux kernel to the use of microkernel-based Genode.

Fixes #3581
