Use GCC's __attribute__((const)) to reduce code size

__attribute__((const)) is mainly intended for the compiler to optimize
away repeated calls to a function that the compiler knows will return
the same value repeatedly.

By adding __attribute__((const)), the compiler can choose to call the
function just once and cache the return value.  Therefore, this yields
code size reduction.

Here are the reference results by arm-eabi-size for crespo device:

headers: Unbreak some ARM syscalls

Restore the outside-kernel exclusion for some syscalls that was
removed by change I959b64280e184655ef8c713aa79f9e23cb1f7df4,
since these syscalls are used elsewhere.

Bionic/libm: fast neon pow() for small x,y.

Add a fast neon version of pow() suitable for relatively small
positive x and y (between 0 and 4).  Run the standard
implementation in all other cases.  Gives approximately 60%
performance improvement to AnTuTu FPU scores

Bionic/libm: Prefer branches and VFP ABI.

For internal functions set gcc attribute "aapcs-vfp" for ARM
and use -fno-if-conversion to prefer branches over predicated
instructions (improves performance on architectures with good
branch prediction).
