John Ericson 6208ca7209 Separate SystemError from SysError
Most of this is a `catch SysError` -> `catch SystemError` sed. This
is a rather pure-churn change I would like to get out of the way. **The
intersting part is `src/libutil/error.hh`.**

On Unix, we will only throw the `SysError` concrete class, which has
the same constructors that `SystemError` used to have.

On Windows, we will throw `WinError` *and* `SysError`. `WinError`
(which will be created in a later PR), will use a `DWORD` instead of
`int` error value, and `GetLastError()`, which is the Windows equivalent
of the `errno` machinery. Windows will *also* use `SysError` because
Window's "libc" (MSVCRT) implements the POSIX interface, and we use it
too.

As the docs describe, while we *throw* one of the 3 choices above (2
concrete classes or the alias), we should always *catch* `SystemError`.
This ensures no matter how the implementation changes for Windows (e.g.
between `SysError` and `WinError`) the catching logic stays the same
and stays correct.

John Ericson ac89bb064a Split up util.{hh,cc}
All OS and IO operations should be moved out, leaving only some misc
portable pure functions.

This is useful to avoid copious CPP when doing things like Windows and
Emscripten ports.

Newly exposed functions to break cycles:

 - `restoreSignals`
 - `updateWindowSize`
