Summary:
This patch removed the `-ffreestanding` and `-fno-builtin` flags from
the publically installed version of the GPU library. The presense of
`-fno-builtin` caused issues that prevented all inlining in the GPU C
library, see https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-libc-ffreestanding-fno-builtin/75883.
Previously, I attempted to fix this by loosening the restriction that
`"no-builtins"` functions cannot be inlined into functions without that
attribute. However, that opened up a lot of extra issues that stalled
that approach.

This patch instead removes that and instead passes `-fno-builtin-<xyz>`
for the few calls that are known to be problematic. I believe this works
in general as the GPU backends do not emit any libcalls and the
implementations of most of these simply reduce to builtins right now.
This is a very useful patch as we can now actually inline calls.
