os: don't consult Is methods on non-syscall error types

CL #163058 moves interpretation of platform-specific errors to the
syscall package. Package syscall errors implement an Is method which
os.IsPermission etc. consult. This results in an unintended semantic
change to the os package predicate functions: The following program
now prints 'true' where it used to print 'false':

	package main
	import "os"
	type myError struct{ error }
	func (e myError) Is(target error) bool { return target == os.ErrPermission }
	func main() { println(os.IsPermission(myError{})) }

Change the os package error predicate functions to only examine syscall
errors, avoiding this semantic change.

This CL does retain one minor semantic change: On Plan9, os.IsPermission
used to return true for any error with text containing the string
"permission denied". It now only returns true for a syscall.ErrorString
containing that text.
