b10968a4460ed90e1d0dcd386a49ba964cd21f23 unix: split Pipe/Pipe2/Dup2, use *at replacement calls
This brings over three CLs from the main syscall package:
http://golang.org/cl/5833
http://golang.org/cl/5835
http://golang.org/cl/5837
Pipe, Pipe2, and Dup2 are moved from syscall_linux.go to the GOARCH
specific variants. On 386 and amd64, Linux kernel version 2.6.23 (the
documented minimum Linux kernel version the Go distribution supports)
does not support the pipe2 system call, so Pipe continues to call
pipe. On ARM, Pipe now calls pipe2.
Several system calls are reimplemented in terms of the *at syscalls,
passing AT_FDCWD to indicate that pathnames are to be interpreted
relative to the current directory. The *at syscalls were added in
Linux kernel version 2.6.16.
This is in preparation for arm64 support, as the arm64 Linux kernel
does not provide the traditional syscall variants.
