Reduce <limits.h> pollution due to dynamic PTHREAD_STACK_MIN

  <limits.h> used to be a header file with no declarations.
GCC's libgomp includes in a #pragma GCC visibility hidden block.
Including <unistd.h> from <limits.h> (indirectly) declares everything
in <unistd.h> with hidden visibility, resulting in linker failures.

This commit avoids C declarations in assembler mode and only declares
__sysconf in <limits.h> (and not the entire contents of <unistd.h>).
The __sysconf symbol is already part of the ABI.  PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
is no longer defined for __USE_DYNAMIC_STACK_SIZE && __ASSEMBLER__
because there is no possible definition.

Additionally, PTHREAD_STACK_MIN is now defined by <pthread.h> for
__USE_MISC because this is what developers expect based on the macro
name.  It also helps to avoid libgomp linker failures in GCC because
libgomp includes <pthread.h> before its visibility hacks.

We absolutely want to be able to build glibc with an unmodified released
gcc, and requiring a fix would impact usability. Therefore regardless of
the exact technical merits of this fix, I think it goes in the right
direction. At a later date we can cleanup this technical debt.

OK. This moves from bits/local_lim.h -> sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/include/bits/pthread_stack_min-dynamic.h

OK. Keeps the constant value checked so it doesn't change.

OK. Include it early (everyone using pthread.h would expect it).

OK. Decouple from the actual definition of the sysconf value.
