The set of errors forwarded by the os package varied with system and
was therefore non-portable.
Three helpers added for portable error checking: IsExist, IsNotExist, and IsPermission.
One or two more may need to come, but let's keep the set very small to discourage
thinking about errors that way.

- 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.

Besides being more correct, it protects against people accidentally
exchanging the permission and open mode arguments to Open.

*** Reason for rollback ***
roll back the changes to the tutorial programs (only) since they
break the automated processing used to create the tutorial.
*** Original change description ***
apply gofmt to the LGTM-marked files from 34501

echo back context of call in error if likely to be useful.
For example, if os.Open("/etc/passwd", os.O_RDONLY)
fails with syscall.EPERM, it returns as the os.Error
&PathError{
Op: "open",
Path: "/etc/passwd"
Error: os.EPERM
}
which formats as
open /etc/passwd: permission denied
