gapis fails starting due to "newer" libstdc++ / glibc dependency

[SergejIsbrecht]

Environment information:

• AGI version: 3.3.3
• Host OS: Linux Ubuntu 20.04
  If tracing on Android:
• Device model: /
• Android Version: /

Bug description
AGI does not start on Ubuntu 20.04 with

• gcc 9.4.0
• GLIBC 2.31

Reproduction steps
Start AGI on an system with GCC 9 + GLIBC 2.31. It works perfectly fine on newer Ubuntu systems

Resolution
Statically build gapis with clang (libc++ / musl) in order to remove gcc/glibc dependencies if possible. This will allow running AGI on "older" devices. Alternatively using 3.3.0 works as expected even on older Linux devices.

        Nix flake for Android GPU Inspector (AGI) -- v3.3.3
 
        This flake patches the AGI v3.3.3 for Linux OS's with old GLIBC / GCC configurations, because AGI is compiled against a modern GCC / GLIBC.

This seems to work, but pathelf seems to be a little bit excessive.
