getcontext in libc.
Also cleanup the namespace (check-name-space passes on x86_64 now).
Replace uses of offsets.h with ucontext_i.h.
Rename _x86_64_setcontext to _Ux86_64_setcontext.
TBD: Add CFI annotations for get/setcontext.

bad/missing unwind information, which could result in libunwind
dereferencing bad pointers. This mechanism is based on msync(2) system
call and significantly reduces the chances of a bad pointer
dereference in libunwind.
The original idea was to turn this mechanism on only when necessary
i.e. libunwind didn't find proper unwind information for a IP.
There are a couple of problems in the current implementation.
* The flag is global and is modified without locking
* The flag isn't reset when starting a new unwind
The attached patch makes ->validate a per-thread setting by moving it
into struct cursor from unw_local_addr_space and resets it to false
when starting a new unwind. As a result, cursor->as_arg points to the
cursor itself instead of the ucontext (for the local case).
This was found to reduce the number of msync() system calls from an
application using libunwind significantly.

When libunwind is linked with a C++ program that throws exceptions,
the exception that's thrown is passed in %rax. However, libc's
setcontext clears %rax, causing problems.
This patch implements a setcontext that doesn't clobber rax.

(my_rt_sigreturn): New function.
(x86_64_local_resume): Use my_rt_sigreturn(). The normal sigreturn()
does nothing (returns with an error).
