Make execution of 32-bit CloudABI executables work on amd64.
A nice thing about requiring a vDSO is that it makes it incredibly easy
to provide full support for running 32-bit processes on 64-bit systems.
Instead of letting the kernel be responsible for composing/decomposing
64-bit arguments across multiple registers/stack slots, all of this can
now be done in the vDSO. This means that there is no need to provide
duplicate copies of certain system calls, like the sys_lseek() and
freebsd32_lseek() we have for COMPAT_FREEBSD32.
This change imports a new vDSO from the CloudABI repository that has
automatically generated code in it that copies system call arguments
into a buffer, padding them to eight bytes and zero-extending any
pointers/size_t arguments. After returning from the kernel, it does the
inverse: extracting return values, in the process truncating
pointers/size_t values to 32 bits.
