PR ziglang#20679 ("std.c reorganization") switched feature-detection code to use "T != void" checks in place of "@hasDecl". However, the std.posix.system struct is empty, so compile-time feature detection against symbols in there (specifically `std.posix.system.ucontext_t` in this case), fail at compile time on freestanding targets. This PR adds a void ucontext_t into the std.posix.system default. This PR also adds pseudo-"freestanding" variation of the StackIterator "unwind" test. It is sort of hacky (its freestanding, but assumes it can invoke a Linux exit syscall), but it does detect this problem. Fixes ziglang#20710

PR #20679 ("std.c reorganization") switched feature-detection code to use
T != voidchecks in place of@hasDecl. However, the default std.posix.system struct (used by freestanding targets) is empty, so compile-time feature detection against symbols in there (specificallystd.posix.system.ucontext_tin this case), fail at compile time.This PR adds a void ucontext_t into the std.posix.system default. While I'm confident this fixes the particular problem, it may not be the right approach (it seems like this struct will eventually have to be padded out with a lot of void symbols). I'm not sure if deeper fixes to std.debug are in order, or something else entirely.
This PR also adds pseudo-"freestanding" variation of the existing StackIterator "unwind" test. The new test is somewhat hacky (its freestanding, but assumes it can invoke a Linux exit syscall), but it does detect this problem.
