ccc7b4c3a1 remove __SYSCALL_SSLEN arch macro in favor of using public _NSIG
the issue at hand is that many syscalls require as an argument the
kernel-ABI size of sigset_t, intended to allow the kernel to switch to
a larger sigset_t in the future. previously, each arch was defining
this size in syscall_arch.h, which was redundant with the definition
of _NSIG in bits/signal.h. as it's used in some not-quite-portable
application code as well, _NSIG is much more likely to be recognized
and understood immediately by someone reading the code, and it's also
shorter and less cluttered.

note that _NSIG is actually 65/129, not 64/128, but the division takes
care of throwing away the off-by-one part.

075fdb909b fix syscall asm constraints for arm too
no problems were detected so far, but the constraints seem to have
been invalid just like the mips ones.

5e3c243d8d inline syscall support for arm
most pure-syscall-wrapper functions compile to the smallest/simplest
code possible (save r7 ; load syscall # ; svc 0 ; restore r7 ; tail
call to __syscall_ret).

208eb584ef syscall organization overhaul
now public syscall.h only exposes __NR_* and SYS_* constants and the
variadic syscall function. no macros or inline functions, no
__syscall_ret or other internal details, no 16-/32-bit legacy syscall
renaming, etc. this logic has all been moved to src/internal/syscall.h
with the arch-specific parts in arch/$(ARCH)/syscall_arch.h, and the
amount of arch-specific stuff has been reduced to a minimum.

changes still need to be reviewed/double-checked. minimal testing on
i386 and mips has already been performed.
