Skip stack overflow handler for panic=immediate-abort
std installs guard pages and a signal handler to ensure that stackoverflows 1) terminate abruptly and 2) print an nice message. Even for panic=immediate-abort, 1) is desirable, we don't want silent data corruption there. But 2) is completely unnecessary, as users deliberately *don't* want nice messages, they want minimum binary size.
Therefore, skip the entire guard signal handler setup, which saves a lot of bytes.
I tested this with a hello world binary using fat LTO, build-std, panic=immediate-abort, opt-level=s, strip=debuginfo.
`size` reports significant savings:
```
text data bss dec hex filename
15252 1032 104 16388 4004 tiny-before
6881 964 48 7893 1ed5 tiny-after2
```
`nm -U` goes from 71 to 56, getting rid of a bunch of stack overflow related symbols. The disk size goes from `31k` to `24k`.
The impact on the error message is minimal, as the message was already
missing.
before:
```
fish: Job 1, './tiny-so-before' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)
```
after:
```
fish: Job 1, './tiny-so-after' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)
```
I didn't test the Windows part, but it likely also has savings.File tree
