Right now the process for adding in new constants, errors, or syscalls
for Linux is a pain and unreliable. The scripts are designed to be run
on the target architecture and use the header files installed on the
user's system. This makes it hard to generate files for all the
architectures or to have consistency between users. See golang/go#15282.
This CL fixes this issue by making all of the files for the 11 supported
architectures directly from source checkouts of Linux, glibc, and bluez.
This is done using Docker, the gcc cross-compilers, and qemu emulation.
Previously discussed here:
https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/37589/
A README.md file is also added to explain how all the parts of the build
system work.
In order to get the build working for all the architectures, I made
some changes to the other scripts called from mkall_linux.go:
- Files only used for generating linux code, moved to linux/
- linux/mksysnum.pl supports a specified CC compiler.
- The generated C code in mkerrors.sh changed to avoid a warning
- mkerrors.sh headers changed to fix powerpc64 bug in sys/ioctl.h
- linux/types.go no longer needs to export Ptrace structs in lowercase
Build instructions:
- Host system needs to be x86-64 Linux
- Install Docker (https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)
- ./mkall.sh (That's it!!!)

Import syscall so that Kill can refer to syscall.Signal. Drop
termios constants from types_linux.go--all other systems get
them from mkerrors.sh.
Fixesgolang/go#8865.

It's a peculiar environment that probably doesn't belong here.
We can bring it back easily if we need it.

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.
