tools/nolibc/stdlib: only reference the external environ when inlined
When building with gcc at -O0 we're seeing link errors due to the
"environ" variable being referenced by getenv(). The problem is that
at -O0 gcc will not inline getenv() and will not drop the external
reference. One solution would be to locally declare the variable as
weak, but then it would appear in all programs even those not using
it, and would be confusing to users of getenv() who would forget to
set environ to envp.
An alternate approach used in this patch consists in always inlining
the outer part of getenv() that references this extern so that it's
always dropped when not used. The biggest part of the function was
now moved to a new function called _getenv() that's still not inlined
by default.
