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.

- 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.

* tweak mksyscall*.pl to be more gofmt-compatible.
* add mkall.sh -syscalls option.
* add sys/mman.h constants on OS X

The callback mechanism has been made more flexible.
Eliminated one round of argument copying in Syscall.
Faster Get/SetLastError implemented.
Added gettime for gc perf profiling.

This is a documentation enhancement only, without any code
change.
The rationale for documenting this precisely is that Unix
programmers who "know" that errno's value is undefined after
a successful system call may be surprised otherwise and
search to be sure that a zero errno may be relied upon after
successful calls.

parsing and printing to new syntax.
Use -oldparser to parse the old syntax,
use -oldprinter to print the old syntax.
2) Change default gofmt formatting settings
to use tabs for indentation only and to use
spaces for alignment. This will make the code
alignment insensitive to an editor's tabwidth.
Use -spaces=false to use tabs for alignment.
3) Manually changed src/exp/parser/parser_test.go
so that it doesn't try to parse the parser's
source files using the old syntax (they have
new syntax now).
4) gofmt -w src misc test/bench
4th set of files.

- applied gofmt -w $GOROOT/src
