syscall: Use NewError for all system errors and introduce
some new errors for compatibility with other packages
and proper error handling in net. Also introduce
Temporary and Timeout methods on ErrorString.
net: Make errors from dial, accept, listen functions follow the
OpError standard and discern whether the underlying
error came from syscall. Since Plan 9 uses a correspondence
between file and network operations, all system error
reporting happens through the underlying file operation.
In Go code, we go through package os for file operations,
so there is another level of indirection in error types.
This change allows us to compare the errors with those in
package syscall, when appropriate.
os: Just use the error string already present in package os,
instead of calling out to package syscall.

Separates the implementation of nanotime on 64-bit
version of Plan 9 from that on the 32-bit version.
The former uses a syscall.

This is a part of a bigger change that adds data race detection feature:

The purpose of this patch is to provide coarse-grained synchronization
between all Read() and Write() calls.

This change updates CL 6576057 for exceptional cases where
return values from Syscall/RawSyscall functions are used.
The system calls return 32-bit integers. With the recent change
in size of `int' in Go for amd64, the type conversion was not
catching `-1' return values. This change makes the conversion
explicitly `int32'.

This set of changes extends the Plan 9 support
to include the AMD64 architecture and should
work on all versions of Plan 9.

Since NUL usually terminates strings in underlying syscalls, allowing
it when converting string arguments is a security risk, especially
when dealing with filenames. For example, a program might reason that
filename like "/root/..\x00/" is a subdirectory or "/root/" and allow
access to it, while underlying syscall will treat "\x00" as an end of
that string and the actual filename will be "/root/..", which might
be unexpected. Returning EINVAL when string arguments have NUL in
them makes sure this attack vector is unusable.

Instead use a new type, "Note", whose underlying
type is just a string. This change allows us to
remove the exported os.Plan9Note type.

syscall.Exit would originally kill only the calling
Go proc, leaving behind other procs in the
same group. This change makes syscall.Exit call
runtime·exit, which due to CL
https://golang.org/cl/5617048
will cleanly exit all the Go procs in the group.

exec_plan9.go:
. Adjusted return argument to match other changes.
#mksyscall.pl:
. Replaced "err = e1" with "err = NewError(e1)".
* Change abandoned, Russ made a better suggestion involving
syscall_plan9.go.
syscall_plan9.go:
. Removed redundant "err = nil" lines.
. Adjusted //sys lines for mksyscall.pl.
* Replaced "err string" with "err ErrorString" in return arguments.
zsyscall_plan9_386.go:
. This module ought to be generated, but as it exists in the
repository, I rebuilt it and checked that it matched expectations.
Anybody is welcome to remove this from the repository if
they feel it should go, but remember that not all Plan 9
installations have a working Perl.

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.

All tests enabled by default passes except those in timeout_test.go.
For TestLookupPort, add an entry for "bootps" in /lib/ndb/common
(Plan 9 calls it "bootp"). I've sent out a patch to fix this.
