This PR adds build tags for building statically linked kaia binaries
Some glibc features (e.g., libnss) can cause dependencies on specific version of glibc.
To avoid using such features, we can add build tags to guide go compiler (and linker) to use Golang implementation (as an alternative to the related glibc feature)
This is a knownissue in Golang, and also a mitigation adopted in geth
The following build method now produces a fully static binary.
KAIA_STATIC_LINK=1 make ken
