This change updates CL 6576057 for exceptional cases where
return values from Syscall/RawSyscall functions are used.
The system calls return 32-bit integers. With the recent change
in size of `int' in Go for amd64, the type conversion was not
catching `-1' return values. This change makes the conversion
explicitly `int32'.

Since NUL usually terminates strings in underlying syscalls, allowing
it when converting string arguments is a security risk, especially
when dealing with filenames. For example, a program might reason that
filename like "/root/..\x00/" is a subdirectory or "/root/" and allow
access to it, while underlying syscall will treat "\x00" as an end of
that string and the actual filename will be "/root/..", which might
be unexpected. Returning EINVAL when string arguments have NUL in
them makes sure this attack vector is unusable.

1. Readdirnames was erroneously returning an
empty slice on every invocation.
2. The logic for determining which files to
close before exec was incorrect. If the
set of files to be kept open (provided by
the caller) did not include the files
opened at startup, those files would be
accidentally closed.
I also cleaned up readdupdevice while I was
in the vicinity.

This change comes from CL 5536043,
created by Andrey Mirtchovski. His
description follows:
"The plan9 exec child handler does not manage
dup-ed fds from the parent correctly: when a
dup-ed file descriptor appears in the child's fd
list it is closed when first encountered and then
subsequent attempt to dup it later in Pass 2 fails,
resulting in 'fork/exec: fd out of range or not
open'."

exec_plan9.go:
. Adjusted return argument to match other changes.
#mksyscall.pl:
. Replaced "err = e1" with "err = NewError(e1)".
* Change abandoned, Russ made a better suggestion involving
syscall_plan9.go.
syscall_plan9.go:
. Removed redundant "err = nil" lines.
. Adjusted //sys lines for mksyscall.pl.
* Replaced "err string" with "err ErrorString" in return arguments.
zsyscall_plan9_386.go:
. This module ought to be generated, but as it exists in the
repository, I rebuilt it and checked that it matched expectations.
Anybody is welcome to remove this from the repository if
they feel it should go, but remember that not all Plan 9
installations have a working Perl.
