[PATCH 1/4] tools/nolibc: unistd.h: add __syscall() and __syscall_ret() helpers

[Zhangjin Wu]

most of the library routines share the same code model, let's add some
macros to simplify the coding and shrink the code lines too.

One added for syscall return, one added for syscall call, both of them
can get the typeof 'return value' automatically.

To get the return type of syscalls, __auto_type is better than typeof(),
but it is not supported by the old compilers (before 2013, see [1]), so,
use typeof() here.
