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!
For golang/go#58351.

CL 179099 introduced ptrace support for freebsd but it seems the
PtraceIoDesc type was not generated by cgo -godefs through mkall.sh
as it contains an uint member. Regenerate the type and adjust
PtraceIoDesc to deal with the type difference on 32-bit vs. 64-bit.
