Precedence: bulk

In commit 52e423f5b93e ("tools/nolibc: export environ as a weak symbol on i386")
and friends the asm startup logic was extended to directly populate the
"environ" array.

This makes it impossible for "environ" to be dropped by the linker.
Therefore also drop the other logic to handle non-present "environ".

Note:

Given that nowadays both _auxv and environ are mandatory symbols imposed
by nolibc of pointer size does it make sense to keep the code to make
int-sized errno optional?
