This reduces the overhead necessary to work with OS-specific
file details, hides the implementation of FileStat, and
preserves the implementation-specific nature of Sys.
Expressions such as:
stat.(*os.FileInfo).Sys.(*syscall.Stat_t).Uid
fi1.(*os.FileStat).SameFile(fi2.(*os.FileStat))
Are now spelled as::
stat.Sys().(*syscall.Stat_t).Uid
os.SameFile(fi1, fi2)

OS X 10.6 doesn't do O_CLOEXEC.
OS X 10.7 does.
For now, always fall back to using syscall.CloseOnExec on darwin.
This can removed when 10.6 is old news, or if we find a
way to cheaply & reliably detect 10.6 vs 10.7 at runtime.
Fixes#2587

Add NetBSD to mksignals.sh and generate files.
While we're here, also add netbsd to the +build list where appropriate.

An experiment: allow structs to be copied even if they
contain unexported fields. This gives packages the
ability to return opaque values in their APIs, like reflect
does for reflect.Value but without the kludgy hacks reflect
resorts to.
In general, we trust programmers not to do silly things
like *x = *y on a package's struct pointers, just as we trust
programmers not to do unicode.Letter = unicode.Digit,
but packages that want a harder guarantee can introduce
an extra level of indirection, like in the changes to os.File
in this CL or by using an interface type.
All in one CL so that it can be rolled back more easily if
we decide this is a bad idea.
Originally discussed in March 2011.

The environment is needed by package time, which
we want not to depend on os (so that os can use
time.Time), so push down into syscall.
Delete syscall.Sleep, now unnecessary.
The package os environment API is preserved;
it is only the implementation that is moving to syscall.
Delete os.Envs, which was undocumented,
uninitialized on Windows and Plan 9, and
not maintained by Setenv and Clearenv.
Code can call os.Environ instead.

- syscall (not os) now defines the Errno type.
- the low-level assembly functions Syscall, Syscall6, and so on
return Errno, not uintptr
- syscall wrappers all return error, not uintptr.

The go/build package already recognizes
system-specific file names like
mycode_darwin.go
mycode_darwin_386.go
mycode_386.s
However, it is also common to write files that
apply to multiple architectures, so a recent CL added
to go/build the ability to process comments
listing a set of conditions for building. For example:
// +build darwin freebsd openbsd/386
says that this file should be compiled only on
OS X, FreeBSD, or 32-bit x86 OpenBSD systems.
These conventions are not yet documented
(hence this long CL description).
This CL adds build comments to the multi-system
files in the core library, a step toward making it
possible to use go/build to build them.
With this change go/build can handle crypto/rand,
exec, net, path/filepath, os/user, and time.
os and syscall need additional adjustments.

We replace the current Open with:
OpenFile(name, flag, perm) // same as old Open
Open(name) // same as old Open(name, O_RDONLY, 0)
Create(name) // same as old Open(name, O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0666)
This CL includes a gofix module and full code updates: all.bash passes.
(There may be a few comments I missed.)
The interesting packages are:
gofix
os
Everything else is automatically generated except for hand tweaks to:
src/pkg/io/ioutil/ioutil.go
src/pkg/io/ioutil/tempfile.go
src/pkg/crypto/tls/generate_cert.go
src/cmd/goyacc/goyacc.go

Besides being more correct, it protects against people accidentally
exchanging the permission and open mode arguments to Open.
