If an asynchronous message is delivered during an ipc_receive(2) call,
but a failure occurred while copying out the status to the sending
process, then the receiving process would be left in an inconsistent
state, leading to a kernel crash shortly after.
For now, we fix this by altogether ignoring errors while copying out
the status field to the sending process. While this resolves the
kernel crash, it is hardly ideal, since it will likely cause the same
message to be delivered repeatedly. It would be better to disable
asynchronous communication from the sender process altogether, but this
solution requires more changes and thus more testing.

Previously, there was a tiny chance that tickdelay(3) would return
early or that it would fail to reinstate a previous alarm.
- sys_setalarm(2) now returns TMR_NEVER instead of 0 for the time
left if no previous alarm was set;
- sys_setalarm(2) now also returns the current time, to allow the
caller to determine whether it got an alarm notification for the
alarm it set or for a previous alarm that has just gone off;
- tickdelay(3) now makes use of these facilities.

. bitcode fixes
. switch to compiler-rt instead of netbsd libc functions
or libgcc for support functions for both x86 and arm
. minor build fixes
. allow build with llvm without crossbuilding llvm itself
. can now build minix/arm using llvm and eabi - without C++
support for now (hence crossbuilding llvm itself is turned off
for minix/arm)

The entire infrastructure relied on an ACK feature, and as such, it
has been broken for years now, with no easy way to repair it.
