f7f0195fae LibMain: Statically link LibMain
LibMain is dynamically linked in every binary. This results in a
slightly slower load time. In the past people have pegged this at 0.7
ms on some hardware.

This change makes it statically linked and eliminates 0.6 ms of
run-time on my machine. This is tested by running a script which just
executed `/bin/true` in a loop 10,000 times. Before this patch it
reliably executed in ~90,000 ms. After this patch it is ~84,000
ms. This is a speed up of 6,000 ms over 10,000 executions, or 0.6 ms
per execution.

d3cf68a540 LibMain: Add a new library for more ergonomic userspace entry functions
By linking with LibMain, your program no longer needs to provide main().
Instead, execution begins in this function:

    ErrorOr<int> serenity_main(Main::Arguments);

This allows programs that link with LibMain to use TRY() already in
their entry function, without having to do manual ErrorOr unwrapping.

This is very experimental, but it seems like a nice idea so let's try it
out. :^)
