rework mechanism for posix_spawnp calling posix_spawn
previously, a common __posix_spawnx backend was used that accepted an additional argument for the execve variant to call in the child. this moderately bloated up the posix_spawn function, shuffling arguments between stack and/or registers to call a 7-argument function from a 6-argument one. instead, tuck the exec function pointer in an unused part of the (large) pthread_spawnattr_t structure, and have posix_spawnp duplicate the attributes and fill in a pointer to __execvpe. the net code size change is minimal, but the weight is shifted to the "heavier" function which already pulls in more dependencies. as a bonus, we get rid of an external symbol (__posix_spawnx) that had no really good place for a declaration because it shouldn't have existed to begin with.
