On Darwin and FreeBSD, the mmap syscall return value is returned
unmodified. This means that the return value will either be a
valid address or a positive error number.

Also check return value from mmap in SysReserve - the callers of
SysReserve expect nil to be returned if the allocation failed.

If a handler didn't consume all its Request.Body, child.go was
closing the socket while the host was still writing to it,
causing the child to send a RST and the host (at least nginx)
to send an empty response body.

Now, we tell the host we're done with the request/response
first, and then close our input pipe after consuming a bit of
it. Consuming the body fixes the problem, and flushing to the
host first to tell it that we're done increases the chance
that the host cuts off further data to us, meaning we won't
have much to consume.

No new tests, because this package is lacking in tests.
Tested by hand with nginx.  See issue for testing details.

gcc generates only attr DW_AT_byte_size for DW_TAG_pointer_type of "void *",
but we used to also generate DW_AT_type pointing to imaginary unspecified
type "void", which confuses some gdb.
This change makes old Apple gdb 6.x (specifically, Apple version gdb-1515)
accepts our binary without issue like this:
(gdb) b 'main.main'
Die: DW_TAG_unspecified_type (abbrev = 10, offset = 47079)

BenchmarkRC4_1K        167.28       319.92    1.91x
BenchmarkRC4_8K        167.29       321.89    1.92x

For comparison, on the same machine, openssl 1.0.1
(which uses a different implementation than 0.9.8r)
reports its rc4 speed as 587 MB/s for 1K and 601 MB/s for 8K.
It is using SIMD instructions to do more in parallel.

So there's still some improvement to be had, but even so,
this is almost 2x faster than what it replaced.

Fixes #5061.

Current code relies on the fact that fd's are automatically removed from epoll set when closed. However, it is not true. Underlying file description is removed from epoll set only when *all* fd's referring to it are closed.

There are 2 bad consequences:
1. Kernel delivers notifications on already closed fd's.
2. The following sequence of events leads to error:
   - add fd1 to epoll
   - dup fd1 = fd2
   - close fd1 (not removed from epoll since we've dup'ed the fd)
   - dup fd2 = fd1 (get the same fd as fd1)
   - add fd1 to epoll = EEXIST

So, if fd can be potentially dup'ed of fork'ed, it's necessary to explicitly remove the fd from epoll set.

Use per-thread work buffers instead of global mutex-protected pool. This eliminates contention from parallel scan phase.
