[sanitizer_common] Add internal_clone().

Summary

Add a wrapper for the clone syscall for use in StopTheWorld. We
implement it only for x86_64, so stop building StopTheWorld for other platforms
(no one uses it outside x86_64 anyway).

See https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/issues/detail?id=214 for why we
can't use the glibc clone() wrapper.

Looks great.
Please explain the stale cache issue in the comments.

add some comments explaining how this is different from the libc clone() wrapper.

I suggest to assert that child_stack is aligned on 16.

Make this declaration conditional on defined(x86_64).

The other syscall wrappers return a uptr with a potentially negative error value instead of setting errno. You can easily do that here as well, this would also allow you to move the implementation to sanitizer_linux.cc.
