The native NT API returns error values from a different namespace as the
usual Win32 one. This means it needs to be typed differently. This
commit adds broad support for using NTSTATUS values in a new type called
NTStatus.
First we add the type as a basic uint32. Then we add all of the
predefined constants from ntstatus.h, by augmenting mkerrors.bash to do
automatic extraction. There's a convenece way to convert an NT error to
a Win32 error, so we add the NTStatus.Errno() function. Since NTStatus
is an error type, we define an Error() function that returns a string by
asking ntdll.dll for its contents, in the exact same way that
syscall.Errno.Error() does, by calling FormatMessage. Since functions
need to actually use this, we add the rule that if a `//sys` declaration
returns an error value called "ntstatus", then the type underlying the
error interface is an NTStatus instead of an Errno. Finally we fix one
function that was returning an error interface of an Errno rather than
an NTStatus.

This adds the recommended API for determining well-known folder paths,
such as where to place application configuration data. The MSDN
documentation mentions an optimization for the "current user" by passing
NULL as the token, so we provide both variants.

While the types_windows file previously had a small handful of types,
this forced application code to have an awkward mixture of artisanal
error constants and factory-ready ones. This commit adds the missing
ones and separates them into a new file, since they are quite numerous.
These also preserve the order of winerr.h, which should make it somewhat
easier to import new ones in the future.

If we use a local type, it won't compare properly with errors from
the rest of the standard library. Errors are the one type from syscall
that propagates through the system, so it's important to have only
one type for them.
mkerrors_windows.sh is gone, so:
- rename zerrors_windows.go and delete its DO NOT EDIT mark
- delete the contentless zerrors_windows_*.go files

Semi-automatic migration from package syscall to package {plan9,windows,unix}.
No builds attempted yet, but this gets a lot of noise behind us so subsequent
CLs will be more concise and easier to follow.
Subsequent CLs will have semantic content.

This CL copies to each package of go.sys the files from syscall it will need.
Different directories have different files, but these:
mkall.sh
str.go
syscall.go
mksyscall.pl
race.go
race0.go
syscall_test.go
are copied to all three.
No changes yet, these are just copies. They are not ready to use yet:
package names are wrong, for starters. But this clean copy will make
it easier to follow the changes as the packages are enabled.
