The raw clone system call and clone3 have relatively simple interfaces
if the stack pointer is set to NULL. The libc wrapper complicates
things hugely. So introduce an interface similar to clone3, but that
falls back to clone.

Not all features of clone3 are implemented in clone, but we could
either return TCONF or implement them in user land.
