Friendlier raw system calls for Rust.

This is a fork of sc with a slightly reworked API. Advantages:

  1. It's easier to use -- the syscall! macro returns a Result<usize, i32> indicating either the syscall result (on success) or error number (on failure).

  2. It properly supports x8664 FreeBSD and macOS. sc *technically* supports x8664 FreeBSD and macOS; however, those OSes have different conventions for returning error values, which sc fails to acknowledge. This effectively renders sc useless for most purposes on those OSes.
