document and make explicit desired noinline property for __init_libc
on multiple occasions I've started to flatten/inline the code in __init_libc, only to rediscover the reason it was not inlined: GCC fails to deallocate its stack (and now, with the changes in commit 4390383b32250a941ec616e8bff6f568a801b1c0, fails to produce a tail call to the stage 2 function; see PR #87639) before calling main if it was inlined. document this with a comment and use an explicit noinline attribute if __GNUC__ is defined so that even with CFLAGS that heavily favor inlining it won't get inlined.
