The syscall package has been deprecated in favor of golang.org/x/sys.
Note that syscall is still used in the following places:
- pkg/sentry/socket/hostinet/stack.go: some netlink related functionalities
are not yet available in golang.org/x/sys.
- syscall.Stat_t is still used in some places because os.FileInfo.Sys() still
returns it and not unix.Stat_t.

See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19367 for rationale. Note that the
upstream decision arrived at in that thread, while useful for some of our use
cases, doesn't account for all of our SliceHeader use cases (we often use
SliceHeader to extract pointers from slices in a way that avoids bounds
checking and/or handles nil slices correctly) and also doesn't exist yet.

Our "Preconditions:" blocks are very useful to determine the input invariants,
but they are bit inconsistent throughout the codebase, which makes them harder
to read (particularly cases with 5+ conditions in a single paragraph).
I've reformatted all of the cases to fit in simple rules:
1. Cases with a single condition are placed on a single line.
2. Cases with multiple conditions are placed in a bulleted list.
This format has been added to the style guide.
I've also mentioned "Postconditions:", though those are much less frequently
used, and all uses already match this style.

* Rename syncutil to sync.
* Add aliases to sync types.
* Replace existing usage of standard library sync package.
This will make it easier to swap out synchronization primitives. For example,
this will allow us to use primitives from github.com/sasha-s/go-deadlock to
check for lock ordering violations.
Updates #1472
PiperOrigin-RevId: 289033387
Since each Endpoint has a distinct mapping of the packet window, the Go race
detector does not recognize accesses by connected Endpoints to be related. This
means that this change isn't necessary for the Go race detector to accept
accesses of flipcall.Endpoint.Data(), but it *is* necessary for it to accept
accesses to shared variables outside the scope of flipcall that are
synchronized by flipcall.Endpoint state; see updated test for an example.
RaceReleaseMerge is needed (instead of RaceRelease) because calls to
raceBecomeInactive() from *unrelated* Endpoints can occur in any order.
(DowngradableRWMutex.RUnlock() has a similar property: calls to RUnlock() on
the same DowngradableRWMutex from different goroutines can occur in any order.
Remove the TODO asking to explain this now that this is understood.)

Note that some of these changes affect the protocol in
backward-incompatible ways.
- Replace use of "initially-active" and "initially-inactive" with
"client" and "server" respectively for clarity.
- Fix a race condition involving Endpoint.Shutdown() by repeatedly
invoking FUTEX_WAKE until it is confirmed that no local thread is
blocked in FUTEX_WAIT.
- Drop flipcall.ControlMode.

Flipcall is a (conceptually) simple local-only RPC mechanism. Compared
to unet, Flipcall does not support passing FDs (support for which will
be provided out of band by another package), requires users to establish
connections manually, and requires user management of concurrency since
each connected Endpoint pair supports only a single RPC at a time;
however, it improves performance by using shared memory for data
(reducing memory copies) and using futexes for control signaling (which
is much cheaper than sendto/recvfrom/sendmsg/recvmsg).
