The fix for this in Lite-2 is more complete, but these quick hacks of mine
are safer for now. I plan to integrate the additional Lite-2 stuff at some
later time. Should completely fix PR810.
This closes a probably rare but nonetheless real window that would result
in a process hanging or the system panicing.

Included <sys/sysproto.h> to get central declarations for syscall args
structs and prototypes for syscalls.
Ifdefed duplicated decentralized declarations of args structs. It's
convenient to have this visible but they are hard to maintain. Some
are already different from the central declarations. 4.4lite2 puts
them in comments in the function headers but I wanted to avoid the
large changes for that.

NetBSD interface.
Increased the bogusness of the args list for mmap(). The args lists for
most of the memory mapping functions are bogus. The args lists in
syscalls.master are a little better than the ones in the args structs
currently being used, but the improvement for mmap() changed the object
code and I don't want to worry about that now.
Increased the bogusness of the args list for fcntl. BSD4.4lite2/NetBSD
uses `void *' instead of int for the third arg. This has the advantage
of working when `void *'s are longer than ints, but requires extra bogus
casts that I hope to avoid.
Fixed the args list for uname. `struct outsname' seems to be a typo,
not an old interface.
Added comments about bogus args lists for open, mount, msync, munmap,
mprotect, madvise, mincore, fcntl, semsys, msgsys and shmsys.
- collapsed #if-#elses that became null.
- removed dead comments.
Moved #defines that always have the same value to the tables.
Collapsed more #if-#elses that became null. None are left.
Removed repetitive comments.

it's not that the date was wrong for this year (it was the wrong year..
it was that the ALGORYTHM was wrong..
very confusing for non americans wondering why americans were going to be
on holiday on the 23rd..
rather out of date.. it even suggested that it was ppp-2.1.1 still :-)
I've selected some bits from the README files and pre-pended it so that
at least reading it tells you _something_ about the recent history.
