In CL 419915, both pointer fields of the PtraceIoDesc struct were
converted to type uintptr to address golang/go#54113.
However, that change was overzealous: the fix needed to convert fields
that refer to addresses in the child process, but the Addr field of
PtraceIoDesc is not even in the child process! It is instead an
address in the parent (Go) process.
Go's unsafe.Pointer rules prohibit converting a Go pointer to a
uintptr except when immediately converting back to an unsafe.Pointer
or calling a system call. Populating a PtraceIoDesc struct is neither
of those things, so converting the Addr field to uintptr introduced a
use-after-free bug.
This change reverts the change to the Addr field from CL 419915 and
consolidates the implementation of PtraceIO to reduce the the amount
of code that varies with GOARCH.
This change does not address the remaining ptrace uintptr bug
(golang/go#58387), which is also present in the Linux implementation.

Despite having the misleading type "void*" in the C API, the "offs"
field of the ptrace_io_desc struct is an offset within the child
process, and thus is not necessarily a valid pointer at all in the
parent process. The Go unsafe.Pointer type must refer only to valid
pointers, so converting this field through unsafe.Pointer is incorrect
and (in some cases) dangerous.
While we're here, let's also rename the "addr" function argument to
"offs", since that's the corresponding ptrace_io_desc field. It's very
confusing to have a function argument named "attr" that doesn't map to
the struct field of the same name!
