tools/nolibc: add support for directory access

Add an implementation for directory access operations.
To keep nolibc itself allocation-free, a "DIR *" does not point to any
data, but directly encodes a filedescriptor number, equivalent to "FILE *".
Without any per-directory storage it is not possible to implement
readdir() POSIX confirming. Instead only readdir_r() is provided.
While readdir_r() is deprecated in glibc, the reasons for that are
not applicable to nolibc.
