It turns out that the proc thread update function doesn't actually
allocate new memory for its arguments and instead just copies the
pointer values into the preallocated memory. Since we were allocating
that memory as []byte, the garbage collector didn't scan it for pointers
to Go allocations and freed them. We _could_ fix this by requiring that
all users of this use runtime.KeepAlive for everything they pass to the
update function, but that seems harder than necessary. Instead, we can
just do the allocation as []unsafe.Pointer, which means the GC can
operate as intended and not free these from beneath our feet. In order
to ensure this remains true, we also add a test for this.
Updates golang/go#44662.

These are being deleted from go.sys because in general they can
only be implemented in close coordination with the runtime.

All consts in errors_windows.go (except APPLICATION_ERROR) were
"invented" at the start of windows port to have minimal impact on
existing Go packages. No point keeping them around.
Also remove Errno, since we will be using syscall.Errno everywhere anyway.

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.
