Autodetect if musl core agent is needed

Detect if we need musl by reading something in /proc/ / /etc/ - it's mostly for Arch Linux. #484 was a user getting stuck with this.

We may be switching to having the musl core agent as the default, since it runs everywhere. I'll follow up next week.

This blog post mentions musl breaking dns lookups on some wifi configurations: https://pythonspeed.com/articles/alpine-docker-python/ . Maybe it's not a good idea to use everywhere.
