The Name field of the stat structure is variable length
and the marshalling code in package syscall requires
a buf long enough to contain the Name as well as the
static data. This change makes sure that the buffer in
os.Rename is allocated with the appropriate length.

Plan 9 I/O preserves message boundaries, while Go
library code is written for UNIX-like operating
systems which do not. Avoid doing zero-length
writes in package os.

If os.OpenFile holds ForkLock on files that block opens,
then threads that simultaneously try to do fork-exec will
get hung up (until the open succeeds). Blocked opens are
common enough on Plan 9 that protecting against fd leaks
into fork-execs means not being able to do fork-execs
properly in the general case. Thus, we forgo taking the
lock.

The set of errors forwarded by the os package varied with system and
was therefore non-portable.
Three helpers added for portable error checking: IsExist, IsNotExist, and IsPermission.
One or two more may need to come, but let's keep the set very small to discourage
thinking about errors that way.

An experiment: allow structs to be copied even if they
contain unexported fields. This gives packages the
ability to return opaque values in their APIs, like reflect
does for reflect.Value but without the kludgy hacks reflect
resorts to.
In general, we trust programmers not to do silly things
like *x = *y on a package's struct pointers, just as we trust
programmers not to do unicode.Letter = unicode.Digit,
but packages that want a harder guarantee can introduce
an extra level of indirection, like in the changes to os.File
in this CL or by using an interface type.
All in one CL so that it can be rolled back more easily if
we decide this is a bad idea.
Originally discussed in March 2011.

The environment is needed by package time, which
we want not to depend on os (so that os can use
time.Time), so push down into syscall.
Delete syscall.Sleep, now unnecessary.
The package os environment API is preserved;
it is only the implementation that is moving to syscall.
Delete os.Envs, which was undocumented,
uninitialized on Windows and Plan 9, and
not maintained by Setenv and Clearenv.
Code can call os.Environ instead.

- syscall (not os) now defines the Errno type.
- the low-level assembly functions Syscall, Syscall6, and so on
return Errno, not uintptr
- syscall wrappers all return error, not uintptr.

Move the Signal interface from exec_posix.go to exec.go.
Remove some unsused code from file_plan9.go.

We replace the current Open with:
OpenFile(name, flag, perm) // same as old Open
Open(name) // same as old Open(name, O_RDONLY, 0)
Create(name) // same as old Open(name, O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0666)
This CL includes a gofix module and full code updates: all.bash passes.
(There may be a few comments I missed.)
The interesting packages are:
gofix
os
Everything else is automatically generated except for hand tweaks to:
src/pkg/io/ioutil/ioutil.go
src/pkg/io/ioutil/tempfile.go
src/pkg/crypto/tls/generate_cert.go
