for a non=interactive shell ("ssh linminix foo") ash does not source

min-list-garbage: check all store paths against file

this is step 1 of min-collect-garbage, no point implementing
deletion ourselves when rm -r exists
(arguably no point in implementing any of it, but this is the bit we
can't do efficiently in bourne shell - it means we're reading the
store-paths list once instead of grepping it afresh for every entry in
/nix/store/)

workaround for huge musl binaries

something in our configuration is causing gcc to generate binaries
in excess of 68K for "hello world". hardeningDisable seems to stop it
doing that, turning it on for s6 which writes _lots_ of binaries
but would be good to get to the bottom of this

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.
