Make sure that for any DLL that Go uses itself, we only look for the
DLL in the Windows System32 directory, guarding against DLL preloading
attacks.
(Unless the Windows version is ancient and LoadLibraryEx is
unavailable, in which case the user probably has bigger security
problems anyway.)
This does not change the behavior of syscall.LoadLibrary or NewLazyDLL
if the DLL name is something unused by Go itself.
This change also intentionally does not add any new API surface. Instead,
x/sys is updated with a LoadLibraryEx function and LazyDLL.Flags in:

This is a subset of https://golang.org/cl/20022 with only the copyright
header lines, so the next CL will be smaller and more reviewable.
Go policy has been single space after periods in comments for some time.
The copyright header template at:
https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html#copyright
also uses a single space.
Make them all consistent.

This is necessary because syscall.Syscall blocks, and the
garbage collector needs to be able to scan that frame while
it is blocked, and C frames have no garbage collection
information.
Windows builders are broken now due to this problem:

Given:
p := alloc()
fn_taking_ptr(p)
p is NOT recorded as live at the call to fn_taking_ptr:
it's not needed by the code following the call.
p was passed to fn_taking_ptr, and fn_taking_ptr must keep
it alive as long as it needs it.
In practice, fn_taking_ptr will keep its own arguments live
for as long as the function is executing.
But if instead you have:
p := alloc()
i := uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p))
fn_taking_int(i)
p is STILL NOT recorded as live at the call to fn_taking_int:
it's not needed by the code following the call.
fn_taking_int is responsible for keeping its own arguments
live, but fn_taking_int is written to take an integer, so even
though fn_taking_int does keep its argument live, that argument
does not keep the allocated memory live, because the garbage
collector does not dereference integers.
The shorter form:
p := alloc()
fn_taking_int(uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p)))
and the even shorter form:
fn_taking_int(uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(alloc())))
are both the same as the 3-line form above.
syscall.Syscall is like fn_taking_int: it is written to take a list
of integers, and yet those integers are sometimes pointers.
If there is no other copy of those pointers being kept live,
the memory they point at may be garbage collected during
the call to syscall.Syscall.
This is happening on Solaris: for whatever reason, the timing
is such that the garbage collector manages to free the string
argument to the open(2) system call before the system call
has been invoked.
Change the system call wrappers to insert explicit references
that will keep the allocations alive in the original frame
(and therefore preserve the memory) until after syscall.Syscall
has returned.
Should fix Solaris flakiness.
This is not a problem for cgo, because cgo wrappers have
correctly typed arguments.
