Remove jerry-libc (#2332)
Rationale:
- There is no port under targets/ that would use it. All of them
  turn it off when building.
- That's no surprise, as jerry-libc supports no barebone MCUs but
  posix targets with syscalls only. Actually, that's Linux only,
  because macOS builds have turned off the use of jerry-libc a
  while ago.
- And there is no point in maintaining a highly restricted set of
  libc functions: as soon as someone wants to use JerryScript in a
  scenario that needs more functions than jerry-main, they have to
  choose a different libc (most problably the compiler's default
  one).

I think that we should not keep supporting an otherwise unused
library for the purposes of jerry-main on arm/x86/x64-linux  only.

### About
This folder contains files to run JerryScript on
[STM32F4-Discovery board](http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/evaluation-tools/product-evaluation-tools/mcu-eval-tools/stm32-mcu-eval-tools/stm32-mcu-discovery-kits/stm32f4discovery.html) with [NuttX](http://nuttx.org/)
### How to build
#### 1. Setup the build environment for STM32F4-Discovery board
Clone the necessary projects into a `jerry-nuttx` directory. The last tested working version of NuttX is 7.22.
```sh
# Create a base folder for all the projects.
mkdir jerry-nuttx && cd jerry-nuttx
git clone https://github.com/jerryscript-project/jerryscript.git
git clone https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/nuttx.git -b nuttx-7.22
git clone https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/apps.git -b nuttx-7.22
git clone https://github.com/texane/stlink.git
```
The following directory structure is created after these commands:
```
jerry-nuttx
+ apps
+ jerryscript
| + targets
| + nuttx-stm32f4
+ nuttx
+ stlink
```
#### 2. Build JerryScript for NuttX
Build JerryScript as a static library using the NuttX folder as sysroot. The created static libraries will be used later by NuttX.
```sh
# Assuming you are in jerry-nuttx folder.
jerryscript/tools/build.py \
--clean \
--lto=OFF \
--jerry-cmdline=OFF \
--jerry-libm=ON \
--all-in-one=ON \
--mem-heap=70 \
--profile=es2015-subset \
--compile-flag="--sysroot=${PWD}/nuttx" \
--toolchain=${PWD}/jerryscript/cmake/toolchain_mcu_stm32f4.cmake
```
#### 3. Copy JerryScript's application files to NuttX
After creating the static libs (see previous step), it is needed to move the JerryScript application files to the NuttX's interpreter path.
```sh
# Assuming you are in jerry-nuttx folder.
mkdir -p apps/interpreters/jerryscript
cp jerryscript/targets/nuttx-stm32f4/* apps/interpreters/jerryscript/
# Or more simply:
# ln -s jerryscript/targets/nuttx-stm32f4 apps/interpreters/jerryscript
```
#### 4. Configure NuttX
NuttX requires configuration first. The configuration creates a `.config` file in the root folder of NuttX that has all the necessary options for the build.
```sh
# Assuming you are in jerry-nuttx folder.
cd nuttx/tools
# Configure NuttX to use USB console shell.
./configure.sh stm32f4discovery/usbnsh
```
By default, JerryScript is not enabled, so it is needed to modify the configuration file.
##### 4.1 Enable JerryScript without user interaction
```sh
# Assuming you are in jerry-nuttx folder.
sed --in-place "s/CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS/# CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS/g" nuttx/.config
sed --in-place "s/CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN/# CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN/g" nuttx/.config
sed --in-place "s/CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_WINDOWS/# CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_WINDOWS/g" nuttx/.config
cat >> nuttx/.config << EOL
CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y
CONFIG_ARCH_FPU=y
CONFIG_JERRYSCRIPT=y
CONFIG_JERRYSCRIPT_PRIORITY=100
CONFIG_JERRYSCRIPT_STACKSIZE=16384
EOL
```
##### 4.2 Enable JerryScript using kconfig-frontend
`kconfig-frontend` could be useful if there are another options that should be enabled or disabled in NuttX.
###### 4.2.1 Install kconfig-frontend
```sh
# Assuming you are in jerry-nuttx folder.
git clone https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/tools.git nuttx-tools
cd nuttx-tools/kconfig-frontends
./configure \
--disable-nconf \
--disable-gconf \
--disable-qconf \
--disable-utils \
--disable-shared \
--enable-static \
--prefix=${PWD}/install
make
sudo make install
# Add the install folder to PATH
PATH=$PATH:${PWD}/install/bin
```
###### 4.2.2 Enable JerryScript
```sh
# Assuming you are in jerry-nuttx folder.
# Might be required to run `make menuconfig` twice.
make -C nuttx menuconfig
```
* Change `Build Setup -> Build Host Platform` to Linux
* Enable `System Type -> FPU support`
* Enable JerryScript `Application Configuration -> Interpreters -> JerryScript`
#### 5. Build NuttX
```sh
# Assuming you are in jerry-nuttx folder.
make -C nuttx
```
#### 6. Flash the device
Connect Mini-USB for power supply and connect Micro-USB for `NSH` console.
```sh
# Assuming you are in jerry-nuttx folder.
make -C stlink release
sudo stlink/build/Release/st-flash write nuttx/nuttx.bin 0x8000000
```
### Running JerryScript
You can use `minicom` for terminal program, or any other you may like, but set
baud rate to `115200`.
```sh
sudo minicom --device=/dev/ttyACM0 --baud=115200
```
You may have to press `RESET` on the board and press `Enter` keys on the console
several times to make `nsh` prompt to appear.
If the prompt shows like this,
```
NuttShell (NSH)
nsh>
nsh>
nsh>
```
please set `Add Carriage Ret` option by `CTRL-A` > `Z` > `U` at the console,
if you're using `minicom`.
Run `jerry` with javascript file(s)
```
NuttShell (NSH)
nsh> jerry full_path/any.js
```
Without argument it prints:
```
nsh> jerry
No input files, running a hello world demo:
Hello world 5 times from JerryScript
```
