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

Changes in v2:
- Drop RFC status.
- Add comment to constructor test that execution in definition-order is
  expected. (Willy)
- Rework destructor loop to avoid underflow if __fini_array_end is not
  provided by the linker.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231005-nolibc-constructors-v1-1-776d56bbe917@weissschuh.net
