unix: add Major, Minor and Mkdev functions on Linux

Add Major, Minor and Mkdev functions for converting devices numbers to
their major/minor components and vice versa.

The functions follow the behavior of glibc's corresponding macros. Also
add an explanatory comment about the device number format, so the magic
numbers make more sense.

Test the conversion macros with some well-known device numbers for
devices which should be present on any Linux system.

Fixes golang/go#8106
