rS332782: Simplify the code to allocate stack for auxv, argv[], and environment vectors.

Summary

Remove auxarg_size as it was only used once right after a confusing
assignment in each of the variants of exec_copyout_strings().

Test Plan

booted a patched FreeBSD/amd64 kernel and was able to run FreeBSD/amd64, FreeBSD/i386, and Linux/x86-64 binaries.

sys/amd64/linux/linux_sysvec.c
344 ↗	(On Diff #41603)	Maybe capital-A Auxargs follows from struct Elf64_Auxargs?
347–348 ↗	(On Diff #41603)	Perhaps a `_Static_assert` that `sizeof(Elf_Auxinfo)` is some multiple of `sizeof (char *)`?
355 ↗	(On Diff #41603)	Thanks, I think this comment is much improved.

sys/amd64/linux/linux_sysvec.c
347–348 ↗	(On Diff #41603)	I started down that path and then tried an alternate approach of decrementing vectp directly using howmany(). This doesn't require the casts and is shorter and looks more like the math to handle the argv and env vectors. Will update after some more testing. This also needs to use Elf64_Auxinfo.
sys/amd64/linux32/linux32_sysvec.c
830 ↗	(On Diff #41603)	Just noticed these roundup/rounddown's are probably wrong (just need to be aligned to uint32_t) but it doesn't hurt beyond a few bytes of wasted space.

Use howmany() and pointer subtraction for auxargs.
