Hi,

This is the fourth iteration of a patch series to ensure that all SGX selftests
succeed when compiling with optimizations (as tested with -O{0,1,2,3,s} for
both gcc 11.3.0 and clang 14.0.0). The aim of the patches is to avoid reliance
on undefined, compiler-specific behavior that can make the test results
fragile.

This series appends 4 new commits compared to the previous series (do let me
know if appending commits to this series is not the preferred way to handle
these?):

1. Another fix for possibly uninitialized pointer dereferences in
   encl_get_entry. Note that this was only brought up as a compiler warning
   when compiling the loader itself (i.e., not only the enclave) with
   optimizations. Also not that the uninitialized pointers shouldn't show up
   for "well-formed" enclave ELF files that properly contain a symbol table
   section, but I considered it is nevertheless good practice to harden the
   code against this (unlikely) case.
2. Split off the ".dyn*" and ".gnu.hash" discarding in a separate commit, as
   suggested by Kay [1].
3. Split off the removal of the redundant push/pop pair in a separate commit,
   as suggested by Kai [2].
4. Remove all (incomplete) CPU register cleansing assembly code on enclave
   exit, reflecting earlier discussions that highlight that the test enclave
   should *not* be confused with exemplary, security-hardened enclave code, and
   in line with Dave's suggestion to make the test enclave more *obviously*
   insecure [3].

If useful, I can also include an elementary wrapper shell script to compile and
run the tests for different compilers (gcc/clang) and optimization levels.
Reference output below:

.. Testing gcc   -O0    [OK]
