This macro makes uses the __sys_<foo>_t typedefs from libsys.h to
greatly simplify calling functions in the interposing table.

These provide standard APIs, but are implemented using another system
call (e.g., pipe implemented in terms of pipe2) or are interposed by the
threading library to support cancelation.
After discussion with kib (see D44111), I've concluded that it is
better to keep most public interfaces in libc with as little
as possible in libsys.

Remove core system call implementations and documentation to lib/libsys
and lib/libsys/<arch> from lib/libc/sys and lib/libc/<arch>/<sys>.
Update paths to allow libc to find them in their new home.

System calls or their wrappers are now interposed by
__libsys_interposing with purely libc entries remaining in
__libc_interposing.
Use __libsys_interposing_slot in libthr to update __libsys_interposing,
but also make __libc_interposing_slot fall back to
__libsys_interposing_slot so an out of date libc has a chance of working
during updates.

These sys/cdefs.h are not needed. Purge them. They are mostly left-over
from the $FreeBSD$ removal. A few in libc are still required for macros
that cdefs.h defines. Keep those.

Note that to cancel blocked kevent(2) call, changelist must be empty,
since we cannot cancel a call which already made changes to the
process state. And in reverse, call which only makes changes to the
kqueue state, without waiting for an event, is not cancellable. This
makes a natural usage model to migrate kqueue loop to support
cancellation, where existing single kevent(2) call must be split into
two: first uncancellable update of kqueue, then cancellable wait for
events.
Note that this is ABI-incompatible change, but it is believed that
there is no cancel-safe code that relies on kevent(2) not being a
cancellation point. Option to preserve the ABI would be to keep
kevent(2) as is, but add new call with flags to specify cancellation
behaviour, which only value seems to add complications.
