fix: real argv[0] via SYS_GETEXECPATH - GCC driver finds its backends

The GCC driver relocates its install prefix from argv[0]. crt1
hardcoded argv[0] as "prog", so make_relative_prefix cwd-joined it
and computed exec prefixes relative to the current directory
(0:/users/admin/../libexec/gcc/...), and because the computed
gcc_exec_prefix is non-NULL the standard /sdk prefixes were never
searched. cc1plus was unreachable from anywhere except (by accident
of the path arithmetic) 0:/sdk/bin. sdk-diag proved the kernel and
libc layers all worked; only the driver's self-relocation was lost.

New SYS_GETEXECPATH (151) returns the absolute path the process was
spawned from (Process::name); crt1 uses it for argv[0] with a "prog"
fallback. With a real argv[0], make_relative_prefix computes
0:/sdk/bin/../libexec/gcc/ from any cwd. Native GCC relinked against
the new crt1; sdk-diag ships in the SDK as a permanent probe; the
montauk.h TCC mirror gains the wrapper (checker enforced it).
