int main(int argc, char** argv);: DMD's entry point, C main.
Without -lowmem, we need to switch to the bump-pointer allocation scheme right from the start, before any module ctors are run, so we need this hook before druntime is initialized and _Dmain is called.

Returns:
Return code of the application
int _Dmain(char[][]);: Manual D main (for druntime initialization), which forwards to tryMain.
Returns:
Return code of the application
