The use of the .hidden directive to avoid going via the PLT for
__set_errno had the side-effect of actually making __set_errno
hidden (which is odd because assembler directives don't usually
affect symbols defined in a different file --- you can't even
create a weak reference to a symbol that's defined in a different
file).
This change switches the system call stubs over to a new always-hidden
__set_errno_internal and has a visible __set_errno on LP32 just for
binary compatibility with old NDK apps.

__set_errno returns -1 exactly so that callers don't need to bother.
The other architectures were already taking advantage of this, but
no one had ever fixed x86 and x86_64.

We only need it for MAX_ERRNO, and it's time we had somewhere to put
the little assembler utility macros we've been putting off writing.

I've left the exit_group syscall as _exit because otherwise we'd have to
convince the compiler that our _exit (which just calls __exit_group) is
actually "noreturn", and it seems like that would be less clean than just
cutting out the middleman.
We'll just have to trust ourselves not to add anything to SYSCALLS.TXT
that ought to be private but that only has a single leading underscore.
Hopefully we can manage that.
