- 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.

Before this change, syscall package would load
all dlls used anywhere in the go tree on startup.
For example, this program:
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Printf("Hello world\n")
}
would load these dlls
kernel32.dll
advapi32.dll
shell32.dll
wsock32.dll
ws2_32.dll
dnsapi.dll
iphlpapi.dll
Most of these dlls are network related and are not used
in this program. Now the same program loads only
kernel32.dll
shell32.dll
This decreases start times somewhat.
This also relaxes the rules of which dlls can be included
in the standard library. We could now include system calls
that are not available on all versions of Windows, because
we could decide if we should call them during runtime.

This change fixes generation of "shadow" variables for bool parameters.
Before the change, it was naming all bool variables with the same name of _p0.
Now it calls them _p0, _p1, ... So the code could compile.
