Daan De Meyer f795d54591 libc,shared: detect newer library symbols at runtime
For libc syscall wrappers (pidfd_open, fsopen, openat2, etc.) we previously
gated the calls behind build-time HAVE_* checks. Replace these with shim
functions in src/libc/ that fall back to the raw syscall at runtime when the
loaded glibc lacks the symbol. The infrastructure lives in src/libc/libc-shim.h:
DEFINE_SYSCALL_SHIM falls back to a direct syscall, DEFINE_LIBC_SHIM returns
ENOSYS (for posix_spawn-family helpers that have no corresponding syscall), and
DEFINE_LIBC_ERRNO_SHIM sets errno=ENOSYS and returns -1 (for read/write-style
helpers). The weak reference to the libc symbol is bound via __asm__(\"name\")
rename so the bare libc identifier never appears as a C token — this avoids
both #undef boilerplate against override-header redirects and the resulting
-Wredundant-decls warning. Drop the corresponding cc.has_function() loop from
meson.build.

For optional libraries (libcryptsetup, libdw, libarchive), drop the per-symbol
HAVE_* checks. Always declare the prototypes, suppressing the redundant-decl
warnings via DISABLE_WARNING_REDUNDANT_DECLS and NOLINT, and resolve the symbols
after the main dlopen via a new DLSYM_OPTIONAL() helper that only assigns on
success. libcryptsetup's crypt_set_keyring_to_link / crypt_token_set_external_path
and libarchive's *_is_set wrappers use fallback functions as their pointer
initializers (returning -ENOSYS and 0 respectively), so call sites can invoke
the symbol unconditionally and just check for -ENOSYS where the \"not supported\"
distinction matters.

The same shim treatment applies to pidfd_spawn / posix_spawnattr_setcgroup_np
(src/libc/spawn.c) and epoll_pwait2 (src/libc/epoll.c), with corresponding
override headers in src/include/override/spawn.h and
src/include/override/sys/epoll.h. posix_spawn_wrapper() in process-util.c and
epoll_wait_usec() in sd-event.c now detect ENOSYS in the return value instead
of checking the function pointer, falling back to plain posix_spawn() and
epoll_wait() respectively. coredump-config and coredump-submit get a
dlopen_dw_has_dwfl_set_sysroot() helper. The kexec arch gate now uses
defined(__NR_kexec_file_load) directly; pidfd.h uses __has_include_next() to
decide whether to pull in glibc's header.

This lets binaries built against newer glibc / libcryptsetup / libdw /
libarchive headers still load and run on older targets where these symbols are
absent.
