97cf7f3394 Implement clone() C library function properly.
Only provide an implementation for ARM at the moment, since
it requires specific assembly fragments (the standard syscall
stubs cannot be used because the child returns in a different
stack).

03eabfe65e Fix the C library initialization to avoid calling static C++ constructors twice.
The problem was due to the fact that, in the case of dynamic executables,
the dynamic linker calls the DT_PREINIT_ARRAY, DT_INIT and DT_INIT_ARRAY
constructors when loading shared libraries and dynamic executables,
*before* calling the executable's entry point (i.e. arch-$ARCH/bionic/crtbegin_dynamic.c)
which in turns call __libc_init() in libc.so, as defined by bionic/libc_init_dynamic.c

The latter did call these constructors array again, mistakenly.

The patch also updates the documentation of many related functions.

Also adds a new section to linker/README.TXT explaining restrictions on
C library usage.

The patch has been tested on a Dream for stability issues with
proprietary blobs:

- H264 decoding works
- Camera + Video recording works
- GPS works
- Sensors work

The tests in system/extra/tests/bionic/libc/common/test_static_cpp_mutex.cpp has been
run and shows the static C++ constructor being called only once.
