It is unprecedented to add tests to package syscall, especially
system-specific ones. Not a policy worth changing right before Go 1
is cut.

The sole existing test, passfd_test.go, contains the line
        // +build linux darwin probablyfreebsd probablyopenbsd
which argues that this is not a subject to be undertaking likely.
Note that passfd_test.go also went in just now. It's the only test
in syscall.

Deleting for now, will reconsider after Go 1.

Adds new file api/go1.txt, locking down the current API.
Any changes to the API will need to update that file.

run.bash (but not make.bash, or Windows) will check for
accidental API changes.

This makes the last error-reporting CL a bit less
aggressive.  errPrintedOutput is a sentinel value
that should not be wrapped.

There was a small window during program initialization
where a signal could come in before the handling mechanisms
were set up to handle it.  Delay the signal-handler installation
until we're ready for the signals.

A "gccgoprefix" flag is added and used by the go tool,
to mirror the -fgo-prefix flag for gccgo, whose value
is required to know how to access functions from C.

Trying to export Go methods or unexported Go functions
will not work.

Also fix go test on "main" packages.

Fixes #3324.

Robert suggested not reporting errors until the end of the output.
which I'd also like to do, but errPrintedOutput makes that a bigger
change than I want to do before Go 1.  This change should at least
remove the confusion we had.
