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.

- 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.

New DLL and Proc types to manage and call dll functions. These were
used to simplify syscall tests in runtime package. They were also
used to implement LazyDLL and LazyProc.
LazyProc, like Proc, now have Call function, that just a wrapper for
SyscallN. It is not as efficient as Syscall, but easier to use.
NewLazyDLL now supports non-ascii filenames.
LazyDLL and LazyProc now have Load and Find methods. These can be used
during runtime to discover if some dll functions are not present.
All dll functions now return errors that fit os.Error interface. They
also contain Windows error number.
Some of these changes are suggested by jp.

I don't know the protocol regarding the zsyscall files which appear to
be hand-generated, so I've re-done them and added them to the change.

Before this change, syscall package would load
all dlls used anywhere in the go tree on startup.
For example, this program:
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Printf("Hello world\n")
}
would load these dlls
kernel32.dll
advapi32.dll
shell32.dll
wsock32.dll
ws2_32.dll
dnsapi.dll
iphlpapi.dll
Most of these dlls are network related and are not used
in this program. Now the same program loads only
kernel32.dll
shell32.dll
This decreases start times somewhat.
This also relaxes the rules of which dlls can be included
in the standard library. We could now include system calls
that are not available on all versions of Windows, because
we could decide if we should call them during runtime.

Add IPv6Mreq and Inet6Pktinfo for specifying the network interface.
Rename IpMreq to IPMreq, SetsockoptIpMreq to SetsockoptIPMreq.

- StartProcess will work with relative (to attr.Dir, not
current directory) executable filenames
- StartProcess will only work if executable filename points
to the real file, it will not search for executable in the
$PATH list and others (see CreateProcess manual for details)
- StartProcess argv strings can contain any characters

Implement CloseOnExec.
Make file and pipe handles inheritable.

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.

For Windows, the options for syscall.Wait4() aren't used.
Then this will be dummy value like WNOHANG, WSTOPPED.
