linux-user/syscall: Implement execve without execveat 

Support for execveat syscall was implemented in 55bbe4 and is available
since QEMU 8.0.0. It relies on host execveat, which is widely available
on most of Linux kernels today.

However, this change breaks qemu-user self emulation, if "host" qemu
version is less than 8.0.0. Indeed, it does not implement yet execveat.
This strange use case happens with most of distribution today having
binfmt support.

With a concrete failing example:
$ qemu-x86_64-7.2 qemu-x86_64-8.0 /bin/bash -c /bin/ls
/bin/bash: line 1: /bin/ls: Function not implemented
-> not implemented means execve returned ENOSYS

qemu-user-static 7.2 and 8.0 can be conveniently grabbed from debian
packages qemu-user-static* [1].

One usage of this is running wine-arm64 from linux-x64 (details [2]).
This is by updating qemu embedded in docker image that we ran into this
issue.

The solution to update host qemu is not always possible. Either it's
complicated or ask you to recompile it, or simply is not accessible
(GitLab CI, GitHub Actions). Thus, it could be worth to implement execve
without relying on execveat, which is the goal of this patch.

This patch was tested with example presented in this commit message.
