Auto merge of rust-lang#3769 - primoly:miri-start, r=RalfJung

Add `miri_start` support

This PR uses a function with the exported symbol `miri_start` as a drop-in alternative to `#[start]`. So the signature stays the same as suggested in [this comment](rust-lang/miri#3498 (comment)). <del>I’ve also removed Miri’s restriction  to only work on bin crates as I don’t think this is necessary anymore.</del>

Closes rust-lang#3758

@@ -474,6 +474,19 @@ Miri provides some `extern` functions that programs can import to access
 Miri-specific functionality. They are declared in
 [/tests/utils/miri\_extern.rs](/tests/utils/miri_extern.rs).
 
+## Entry point for no-std binaries
+
+Binaries that do not use the standard library are expected to declare a function like this so that
+Miri knows where it is supposed to start execution:
+
+```rust
+#[cfg(miri)]
+#[no_mangle]
+fn miri_start(argc: isize, argv: *const *const u8) -> isize {
+    // Call the actual start function that your project implements, based on your target's conventions.
+}
+```
