This required a few compiler and runtime tricks to work, but I ran a
bunch of tests and it seems fine. (CI will of course do more exhaustive
testing).
The main benefit here is that we don't need to maintain the darwin
version of the syscall package, and reduce extra risks for bugs (because
we reuse the well-tested syscall package). For example, Go 1.23 needed a
bunch of new constants in the syscall package. That would have been
avoided if we had used the native syscall package on MacOS.
This eliminates the 'wasi' build tag in favor of 'GOOS=wasip1', introduced in Go 1.21.
For backwards compatablity, -target=wasi is a synonym for -target=wasip1.
This adds true GOOS=wasip1 support in addition to our existing
-target=wasi support. The old support for WASI isn't removed, but should
be treated as deprecated and will likely be removed eventually to reduce
the test burden.
Do it all at once in preparation for Go 1.18 support.
To make this commit, I've simply modified the `fmt-check` Makefile
target to rewrite files instead of listing the differences. So this is a
fully mechanical change, it should not have introduced any errors.
