This splits generation process into two phases:
1. Extract values of constants from linux kernel sources.
2. Generate Go code.
Constant values are checked in.
The advantage is that the second phase is now completely independent
from linux source files, kernel version, presence of headers for
particular drivers, etc. This allows to change what Go code we generate
any time without access to all kernel headers (which in future won't be
limited to only upstream headers).
Constant extraction process does require proper kernel sources,
but this can be done only once by the person who added the driver
and has access to the required sources. Then the constant values
are checked in for others to use.
Consant extraction process is per-file/per-arch. That is,
if I am adding a driver that is not present upstream and that
works only on a single arch, I will check in constants only for
that driver and for that arch.

This is not fully working now: e.g. prog and sys packages assume
that pointer size is 8. But at least it compiles and works.

When regenerating system call tables, cope with a local kernel tree where
the kernel has been built into a separate directory (with `make O=...`) rather
than inline.
So:
- LINUX makefile var / -linux command line option give location of source tree
- LINUXBLD makefile var / -linuxbld command line option gives location of
built kernel

This solves several problems:
- host usually have outdates headers, so previously we need to define missing consts
- host may not have some headers at all
- generation depends on linux distribution and version
- some of the consts cannot be defined at all (e.g. ioctls that use struct arguments)

Syscall numbers for different architectures are now pulled in
from kernel headers. This solves 2 problems:
- we don't need to hardcode numbers for new syscalls (that don't present in typical distro headers)
- we have correct number for different archs (previously hardcoded numbers were for x86_64)
This also makes syscall numbers available for Go code, which can be useful.
