a7e7146887 preinit: disable nolibc
- it stopped working with 22.11->23.05
- linking statically against musl is about 17k, so
  this is costing us 11k or so

5dd0c6e3c0 rewrite preinit as very small C program
By using the kernel "nolibc" header to avoid requiring a C library, we
can bring the initramfs size to around 4k

This does involve a tiny bit of inline mips assembly which I'm not
sure about. gcc seems unwilling to generate the code to load $gp at
function entry of main(), so we do it by hand - but I'd rather find
out why gcc doesn't.
