Rich Felker db86ec100d remove useless mips syscall asm constraint, align style with mips64/n32
commit 4221f154ff added the r7
constraint apparently out of a misunderstanding of the breakage it was
addressing, and did so because the asm was in a shared macro used by
all the __syscallN inline functions. now "+r" is used in the output
section for the forms 4-argument and up, so having it in input is
redundant, and the forms with 0-3 arguments don't need it as an input
at all.

the r2 constraint is kept because without it most gcc versions (seems
to be all prior to 9.x) fail to honor the output register binding for
r2. this seems to be a variant of gcc bug #87733.

both the r7 and r2 input constraints look useless, but the r2 one was
a quiet workaround for gcc bug 87733, which affects all modern
versions prior to 9.x, so it's kept and documented.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
