The C standard says that memcmp() must treat the buffers as consisting
of "unsigned chars". If char happens to be unsigned, the casts are ok,
but then obviously the c1 variable can never contain a negative
value. And when char is signed, the casts are wrong, and there's still
a problem with using an 8-bit quantity to hold the difference, because
that can range from -255 to +255.
For example, assuming char is signed, comparing two 1-byte buffers,
one containing 0x00 and another 0x80, the current implementation would
return -128 for both memcmp(a, b, 1) and memcmp(b, a, 1), whereas one
of those should of course return something positive.

When built at -Os, gcc-12 recognizes an strlen() pattern in nolibc_strlen()
and replaces it with a jump to strlen(), which is not defined as a symbol
and breaks compilation. Worse, when the function is called strlen(), the
function is simply replaced with a jump to itself, hence becomes an
infinite loop.
One way to avoid this is to always set -ffreestanding, but the calling
code doesn't know this and there's no way (either via attributes or
pragmas) to globally enable it from include files, effectively leaving
a painful situation for the caller.
Alexey suggested to place an empty asm() statement inside the loop to
stop gcc from recognizing a well-known pattern, which happens to work
pretty fine. At least it allows us to make sure our local definition
is not replaced with a self jump.
The function only needs to be renamed back to strlen() so that the symbol
exists, which implies that nolibc_strlen() which is used on variable
strings has to be declared as a macro that points back to it before the
strlen() macro is redifined.
It was verified to produce valid code with gcc 3.4 to 12.1 at different
optimization levels, and both with constant and variable strings.
In case this problem surfaces again in the future, an alternate approach
consisting in adding an optimize("no-tree-loop-distribute-patterns")
function attribute for gcc>=12 worked as well but is less pretty.

When we use printf and fprintf functions from the nolibc, we don't

For example, the following calls will compile silently:
```
printf("%s %s\n", "aaa");
fprintf(stdout, "%s %s\n", "xxx", 1);
```
(Note the wrong arguments).
Those calls are undefined behavior. The compiler can help us warn
about the above mistakes by adding a `printf` format attribute to
those functions declaration. This patch adds it, and now it yields
these warnings for those mistakes:
```
warning: format `%s` expects a matching `char *` argument [-Wformat=]

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.
