Coroutine rework.

* ucontext backend (default on unix)
* setjmp backend
* fibers backend (default and required on windows)
* Fixed coroutine loop timing issues
* Fixed saving of xmm registers on x64 windows
* Fixed alignment issues
* Updated coroutine sample with cooperative fibonacci calculation.
* Disable glibc security features only when platform jump functions are used
* Removed dependency on fasm.
    * Using fiber api on windows.
    * Other platforms and compilers  will use built in assembler and .S files or API provided by platform libc.
* Replaced stack switching procs with `coroExecWithStack()` which never returns. This makes compiler always generate proper code.

## Nim coroutines implementation supports several context switching methods:
## ucontext: available on unix and alike (default)
## setjmp: available on unix and alike (x86/64 only)
## Fibers: available and required on windows.
##
## -d:nimCoroutines Required to build this module.
## -d:nimCoroutinesUcontext Use ucontext backend.
## -d:nimCoroutinesSetjmp Use setjmp backend.
## -d:nimCoroutinesSetjmpBundled Use bundled setjmp implementation.
