Zeroing unused registers is not required. Removing it makes the code
very slightly smaller and very slightly faster.

This was originally C code using names with underscores, which were
retained when the code was rewritten into Go. Change the code to use
Go-like camel case names.
The names that come from the ELF ABI are left unchanged.

Add the rawSyscallNoError wrapper function which is used for Linux
syscalls that don't return an error and convert all applicable
occurences of RawSyscall to use it instead.

This greatly improves the latency of starting a child process when
the Go process is using a lot of memory. Even though the kernel uses
copy-on-write, preparation for that can take up to several 100ms under
certain conditions. All other goroutines are suspended while starting
a subprocess so this latency directly affects total throughput.
With CLONE_VM the child process shares the same memory with the parent
process. On its own this would lead to conflicting use of the same
memory, so CLONE_VFORK is used to suspend the parent process until the
child releases the memory when switching to to the new program binary
via the exec syscall. When the parent process continues to run, one
has to consider the changes to memory that the child process did,
namely the return address of the syscall function needs to be restored
from a register.
A simple benchmark has shown a difference in latency of 16ms vs. 0.5ms
at 10GB memory usage. However, much higher latencies of several 100ms
have been observed in real world scenarios. For more information see
comments on #5838.

If there is a leading ·, assume there is a Go prototype and
attach the Go prototype information to the function.
If the function is not called from Go and does not need a
Go prototype, it can be made file-local instead (using name<>(SB)).
This fixes the current BSD build failures, by giving functions like
sync/atomic.StoreUint32 argument stack map information.
Fixes#8753.

Before, Syscall and friends were having their arguments
treated conservatively. Now they will use the Go prototype,
which will mean the arguments are not considered pointers
at all.
This is safe because of CL 139360044.
The fact that all these non-Solaris systems were using
conservative scanning of the Syscall arguments is why
the failure that prompted CL 139360044 was only
observed on Solaris, which does something completely different.
If we'd done this earlier, we'd have seen the Solaris
failure in more places.
