sandbox: add initjmp()

Add initjm[() to sandbox, a non-standard extension to setjmp()/
longjmp() allowing to initialize a jump buffer with a function pointer
and a stack pointer. This will be useful to later introduce threads.
With this new function it becomes possible to longjmp() to a particular
function pointer (rather than to a point previously reached during
program execution as is the case with setjmp()), and with a custom stack.
Both things are needed to spin off a new thread. Then the usual
setjmp()/longjmp() pair is enough to save and restore a context, i.e.,
switch thread. The implementation is taken verbatim from barebox [1] with
the exception of the additional stack_sz argument. It is quite complex
because contrary to U-Boot platform code we don't know how the system's
C library implements the jump buffer, so we can't just write the function
and stack pointers into it.
