keep both.

`lib_exit.c`?
   
   No, _Exit() is just a redirection to _exit():
   - _exit() is the unistd / posix standard function, lives in unistd.h and its 
implementation is in the kernel.
   - _Exit() is the stdlib version of _exit(). They are literally the same 
function, but we need to implement both.
   
   Movin _exit() to libc/lib_exit.c is not possible, _exit() is a system call 
(it lives in the kernel).
