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.
LLD version 8 has added support for armv6m:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D55555
This means we can use LLD instead of arm-none-eabi-ld, eliminating our
dependency on GNU binutils.
There are small differences in code size, but never more than a few
bytes.
This commit does a few things:
* remove the -8 suffix on macOS, where it is not necessary
* add smoke tests for compiling wasm files on Linux and macOS
CircleCI is faster and has more features than Travis CI. Additionally,
based on the recent news, the future of Travis CI is rather uncertain.
Keep using Travis CI for macOS testing at the moment, as open source
projects will need to get special permission to use CircleCI for macOS
tests.
There is a problem with this version, but fixing it requires some
changes to ir/interpreter.go which will be replaced soon anyway.
Remove master from the tests. It probably wasn't such a great idea
anyway during the development cycle of Go.
