Permit system calls to be designated as non-blocking, meaning
that we simply call them without involving the scheduler.
This change by itself is mostly performance neutral. In
combination with a following change to the net package there
is a performance advantage.

notes:
* due to Issue 1466 the Msghdr struct for
src/pkg/syscall/ztypes_darwin_386.go
src/pkg/syscall/ztypes_darwin_amd64.go
had to be edited after the godefs generation.
* ztypes_*.go files for linux, freebsd and darwin
have been prepared on the correct host OS and ARCH.
While the total increase is a dozen lines per file
the diff is larger due to a change to godefs,

while has altered the names of Pad members which
causes gofmt to realign the affected structs

THIS WILL BREAK THE BUILD.
The z files have socketpair code in them that was
written by hand; breaking the build with this is the first
step in getting rid of that hand-written code.

In this change I'd like to combine the common code that is
present in syscall_darwin.go and syscall_freebsd.go. I
have three reasons for wanting to do this now:
1. reducing code duplication is nearly always good :-)
2. the duplication will get worse if I duplicate this code
a third time for the NetBSD port I'm working on, which
I need to do almost immediately
3. by making this change all in one lump and ignoring any
commonality with the syscall_linux*.go files the diff
is long but, I think, readable
In future it may be possible to cherry pick functions that
also apply to Linux and put them in (say) syscall_unix.go,
and of course some functions may diverge in future and have
to move out to OS or architecture specific files, but today
I want just the low hanging fruit.
Tested and passed on:
Darwin (Snow Leopard, 10.6): amd64 and 386
FreeBSD (8.0-RELEASE): 386 only(*)
(*) All my virtualisation software has stopped playing nice
with FreeBSD for the moment, so I don't have facilities to
test the amd64 port. As the OS X port is OK and the diff
looks all right to my eyes I shall keep my fingers crossed.
If someone with a FreeBSD/amd64 system cares to test and
report I would be appreciative.
2010-03-27 update: I have replaced my virtualisation software, and have working FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64 virtual machines again.
As I hoped (and expected -- programmers are optimists :-) the code built and passed all but the two currently known to fail tests on FreeBSD/amd64. I rechecked FreeBSD/i386 too: same results.
