ported software:
* If the macro B_USE_POSITIVE_POSIX_ERRORS is defined the POSIX error code
constants (ENOMEM, EINTR,...) will have positive values.
* Introduced the macros B_TO_{POSITIVE,NEGATIVE}_ERROR() which do convert a
given error code to a positive/negative value.
* Added static library libposix_error_mapper.a that overrides all POSIX
functions (save the ones I forgot to add :-)) directly meddling with error
codes (having them as parameter or returning them) dealing with the
positive<->negative error code conversions. The functions have hidden
visibility, so they affect only the shared object they are linked into.
* So ideally all one has to do is to build a ported software with
-DB_USE_POSITIVE_POSIX_ERRORS and -lposix_error_mapper and be good with
respect to error code problems.
* Potential issues:
- When mixing ported and Haiku native code, i.e. using Haiku native code in
a ported software or using a ported library in a Haiku native application
care must be taken to convert error codes where the two interface. That's
what the B_TO_{POSITIVE,NEGATIVE}_ERROR() macros are supposed to be used
for.
- A ported static library can obviously not be linked directly against
-lposix_error_mapper. The shared object linking a against the ported static
library has to do that. The previous point applies when that causes mixing
with Haiku native code.
- When dependent ported libraries are used probably all of them should use
the error mapping.
Comments welcome.

compile time checks. Incidently those are not totally uncommon in
portable code.

with gcc 4. Fixed resulting build errors (gcc is more lenient for
headers in -isystem directories).

C style ones, as this is a C header, too (and a very basic one).

- B_SHUTDOWN_CANCELLED: The shutdown process was cancelled (most likely by
the user).
- B_SHUTTING_DOWN: An operation cannot be performed, since the system is
shutting down (e.g. BApplication creation).

and it should have read B_NOT_SUPPORTED_ON_SOCKET.
We could reintroduce it later (along with other missing network errors).

- remove private/kernel/Errors.h as this was just plain wrong to have it
there and confused issues somewhat.
- add the kerrors.h file that has kernel only error codes, namely the
ERR_ codes from newos.
- add comments for the other header files to tell people where to find
error code definitions in an attempt to stop people getting lost!

Adjust Errors.h to use errno.h for the posix error codes
add first stab at limits.h, albeit not using the gcc headers at
present for intel.
