With dup3, we can avoid an extra system call on some machines
while holding syscall.ForkLock. Currently we have to
syscall.Dup + syscall.CloseOnExec.
On machines with Linux and a new enough kernel, this can just
be dup3.

I've been writing some code which involves syncing files (like
rsync) and it became apparent that under Linux I could read
modification times (os.Lstat) with nanosecond precision but
only write them with microsecond precision. This difference
in precision is rather annoying when trying to discover
whether files need syncing or not!
I've patched syscall and os to increases the accuracy of of
os.Chtimes for Linux and Windows. This involved exposing the
utimensat system call under Linux and a bit of extra code
under Windows. I decided not to expose the "at" bit of the
system call as it is impossible to replicate under Windows, so
the patch adds syscall.Utimens() to all architectures along
with a ImplementsUtimens flag.
If the utimensat syscall isn't available (utimensat was added
to Linux in 2.6.22, Released, 8 July 2007) then it silently
falls back to the microsecond accuracy version it uses now.
The improved accuracy for Windows should be good for all
versions of Windows.
Unfortunately Darwin doesn't seem to have a utimensat system
call that I could find so I couldn't implement it there. The
BSDs do, but since they share their syscall implementation
with Darwin I couldn't figure out how to define a syscall for
*BSD and not Darwin. I've left this as a TODO in the code.
In the process I implemented the missing methods for Timespec
under Windows which I needed which just happened to round out
the Timespec API for all platforms!

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.

Restore package os/signal, with new API:
Notify replaces Incoming, allowing clients
to ask for certain signals only. Also, signals
go to everyone who asks, not just one client.
This could plausibly move into package os now
that there are no magic side effects as a result
of the import.
Update runtime for new API: move common Unix
signal handling code into signal_unix.c.
(It's so easy to do this now that we don't have
to edit Makefiles!)

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.
