This is the kind that is used in Go (actually CGo) for exporting
functions. I think it's best to use //export instead of our custom
//go:export pragma, for consistency (they are equivalent in TinyGo).
Therefore I've updated all instances to the standard format (except for
two that are updated in https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/1024).
No smoke tests changed (when comparing the output hash), except for some
wasm tests that include DWARF debug info and tend to be flaky anyway.
Go 1.12 switched to using libSystem.dylib for system calls, because
Apple recommends against doing direct system calls that Go 1.11 and
earlier did. For more information, see:

While the old syscall package was relatively easy to support in TinyGo
(just implement syscall.Syscall*), this got a whole lot harder with Go
1.12 as all syscalls now go through CGo magic to call the underlying
libSystem functions. Therefore, this commit overrides the stdlib syscall
package with a custom package that performs calls with libc (libSystem).
This may be useful not just for darwin but for other platforms as well
that do not place the stable ABI at the syscall boundary like Linux but
at the libc boundary.
Only a very minimal part of the syscall package has been implemented, to
get the tests to pass. More calls can easily be added in the future.
