[PATCH 1/2] ARC: Add the clone3 wrapper

From: Pavel Kozlov <pavel.kozlov at synopsys.com>

Use the clone3 wrapper on ARC. It doesn't care about stack alignment.
All callers should provide an aligned stack.
It follows the internal signature:

extern int clone3 (struct clone_args *__cl_args, size_t __size,
 int (*__func) (void *__arg), void *__arg);
---
Checked on arc-linux-gnu. Previously observed tst-misaling-clone-internal
test fail was because I used outdated master branch.
Full testsuite runs without regressions.
But I also see fail of the new tst-spawn7, as already repoted at [1].
