Initially, ESP-IDF used the do_global_ctors() function to run global
constructors. This was done to accommodate Xtensa targets that emit
.ctors.* sections, which are ordered in descending order.
For RISC-V, compilation used .init_array.* sections, which are designed
to have ascending order. Priority constructors in .init_array.* sections
were correctly processed in ascending order. However, non-priority
.init_array section was processed in descending order, as it was done
for Xtensa .ctors.
Starting with ESP-IDF v6.0, the implementation switched to the standard
LibC behavior (__libc_init_array()), which processes both priority and
non-priority constructors in ascending order.
To achieve this, a breaking changes were introduced:
- Xtensa .ctors.* priority entries converted to .init_array.* format
(ascending), to be passed to __libc_init_array().
- Processing order of non-priority .init_array and .ctors sections was
changed from descending to ascending.
Also, this change introduces .preinit_array for linking. This may be
needed for some C++ or sanitizer features.

This commit updates variousf pytest scripts to expect
"main_task: Calling app_main()" instead of "cpu_start: Starting scheduler" as
indicator of the start of an application.
