internal/itoa wasn't around back in go 1.12 days when tinygo's syscall/errno.go was written.
It was only added as of go 1.17 ( https://github.com/golang/go/commit/061a6903a232cb868780b )
so we have to have an internal copy for now.
The internal copy should be deleted when tinygo drops support for go 1.16.
FWIW, the new version seems nicer.
It uses no allocations when converting 0,
and although the optimizer might make this moot, uses
a multiplication x 10 instead of a mod operation.
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.
