This includes...
* A minimal vcxproj file to list all the source files required for the build.
Some future Visual Studio user can come along and replace it with a real
actual vcxproj file with all the other metadata that I didn't bother to copy.
* A local.mk file to specify all the custom flags and libraries we need for
the build/link of the TLS plugin.
* Including the project in the list of all FDB sub-projects
* Fixes `make clean` to wipe all of lib/, including libFDBLibTLS.so
And offers a target of `bin/FDBLibTLS.so` that can be built, and I have
verified that it works with simulation.
Note that this requires a build image that contains the previous Dockerfile changes.
This appears to have caused performance regressions, which will need to be investigated.

...via moving it all to linux-only. Clang is picky about flags, and the osx
linker doesn't accept -z flags. Technically, this will likely break
clang-on-linux, but that's not a config that we run and I'll probably end up
fixing it later.
This makes us fully position independant and have a noexec stack. There's a
small chance that the former part of that can interfere with
gdb/corefiles/stackdumps, but we'll handle that if it becomes a problem.
backtrace() gives a list of return addresses, which means that addr2line will
print out the line after the caller. GetStackTrace returns the list of caller
addresses, so the addr2line results should be accurate. The flow profiler was
also changed to use the new backtracing code, so flow profiles will now be
accurate as well. Unfortunately, the abseil code doesn't work on MacOS, so we
still fall back to backtrace() in this case.
For the stack unwinder to work, we must disable -fomit-frame-pointer. This can
result in a small performance penalty, as it effectively reduces the number of
general purpose registers available by one. (I'm also curious if this has
anything to do with the overly frequent "<value optimized out>" messages from
gdb.) If this shows up as a problem, we can make release builds still have
-fomit-frame-pointer, and fall back to backtrace when it's enabled then as
well.
