Andreas Kling 079d2fe088 Kernel: Pack arguments, environment and auxiliary values better ...

Previously we were putting strings at the bottom of the allocated stack
region, and pointer arrays (argv, env, auxv) at the top. There was no
reason for this other than "it seemed easier to do it that way at the
time I wrote it."

This patch packs the strings and pointer vectors into the same area at
the top of the stack.

This reduces the memory footprint of all programs by 4 KiB. :^)
