Add x86_64-unknown-linux-gnux32 target

[malbarbo]

This adds X32 ABI support for Linux on X86_64. Let's package and dist it so we can star testing libc, libstd, etc.

Fixesrust-lang/rfcs#1339

Add the target build to cross2 because it seems to have some free time.

Why this target is important?

Compared to amd64, x32 offers significant memory savings, often on the order of 30%, and modest efficiency gains.

Compared to i386, there's no memory use difference, but speed increases are more pronounced, especially in code that's under register pressure, operates on 64-bit or floating-point variables. It also avoids i386's penalty for PIC code, where EBX is essentially reserved for the Global Offset Table (GOT).

There are three principal use cases:

• vserver hosting (memory bound)
• netbooks/tablets (low memory, want performance)
• scientific tasks (want every % of performance)

From Debian X32 port.
