Improved maximum errno detection. Previously, systems without sys_nerr (or _sys_nerr) were handled with an assumption that errors start at 0 and continuous. This is, however, not something POSIX requires, and not true on some platforms. Notably, on Linux, where sys_nerr is no longer available for newly linked binaries starting with glibc 2.32, there are gaps in error list, which used to stop us from properly detecting maximum errno. Further, on GNU/Hurd errors start at 0x40000001. With this change, maximum errno detection is moved to the runtime code, now able to ignore gaps, and also detects the first error if needed. This fixes observed "Unknown error" messages as seen on Linux with glibc 2.32 and on GNU/Hurd.
