The previously-submitted https://go-review.googlesource.com/#/c/6701
didn't include dragonfly, freebsd, nacl, netbsd, openbsd, or solaris.
(or things like darwin/arm or ppc64 or arm64)
So do them all.
Note I had to copy the function into tables_nacl.go. I found that
preferable to creating a new file just to have suitable build
tags. It's likely this function will be mirrored to plan9 and windows
later too, each of the 4 with their own policy of which error values
are common.
The corresponding x/sys CL for this CL is https://golang.org/cl/8190
but it excludes nacl (not in x/sys) and solaris (already broken).

This avoids hanging when a Go program uses a FUSE filesystem and the
dup system call has to close a file descriptor. When dup uses
RawSyscall then the goroutine calling dup will occupy a scheduler slot
(a p structure) during the call, and may block waiting for some other
goroutine to respond to the close call on the FUSE filesystem.
Changing to Syscall avoids the problem. This makes Dup a tiny bit
slower but is quite unlikely to make a difference for any real
programs.
Fixes#10202.

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.
