Some header files use __BEGIN_DECLS without including sys/cdefs.h.
This causes issues for C code that compiles against these headers,
which may occur with Ports.
This patch begins the work of sharing types and macros between Kernel
and LibC instead of duplicating them via the kludge in UnixTypes.h.
The basic idea is that the Kernel vends various POSIX headers via
Kernel/API/POSIX/ and LibC simply #include's them to get the macros.
Advisory locks don't actually prevent other processes from writing to
the file, but they do prevent other processes looking to acquire and
advisory lock on the file.
This implementation currently only adds non-blocking locks, which are
all I need for now.
The function fstatat can do the same thing as the stat and lstat
functions. However, it can be passed the file descriptor of a directory
which will be used when as the starting point for relative paths. This
is contrary to stat and lstat which use the current working directory as
the starting for relative paths.
With the new InodeWatcher API, the old style of creating a watcher per
inode will no longer work. Therefore the FileWatcher API has been
updated to support multiple watches, and its users have also been
refactored to the new style. At the moment, all operations done on a
(Blocking)FileWatcher return Result objects, however, this may be
changed in the future if it becomes too obnoxious. :^)

According to the Single UNIX Specification, Version 2 that's where
those macros should be defined. This fixes the libiconv port.
This also fixes some (but not all) build errors for the diffutils and nano ports.
This API was a mostly gratuitous deviation from POSIX that gave up some
portability in exchange for avoiding the occasional strlen().
I don't think that was actually achieving anything valuable, so let's
just chill out and have the same open() API as everyone else. :^)
