<bits/syscall.h>: Use an arch-independent system call list on Linux
This commit changes the way the list of SYS_* system call macros
is created on Linux. glibc now contains a list of all known system
calls, and the generated <bits/syscall.h> file defines the SYS_
macro only if the correspnding __NR_ macro is defined by the kernel
headers.
As a result, there glibc does not have to be rebuilt to pick up
system calls if the glibc sources already know about them. This
means that glibc can be built with older kernel headers, and if
the installed kernel headers are upgraded afterwards, additional
SYS_ macros become available as long as glibc has a record for
those system calls.
The explicit system call list for system call management was not
accepted upstream.
