Linux: optimize clone3 internal usage
Add an optimization to avoid calling clone3 when glibc detects that there is no kernel support. It also adds __ASSUME_CLONE3, which allows skipping this optimization and issuing the clone3 syscall directly. It does not handle the the small window between 5.3 and 5.5 for posix_spawn (CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND was added in 5.5). Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
