The syscall package is locked down and the comment in [1] advises to
switch code to use the corresponding package from golang.org/x/sys. Do
so and replace usage of package syscall with package
golang.org/x/sys/unix where applicable.

This will also allow to get updates and fixes for syscall wrappers
without having to use a new go version.
Errno, Signal and SysProcAttr aren't changed as they haven't been
implemented in /x/sys/. Stat_t from syscall is used if standard library
packages (e.g. os) require it. syscall.SIGTERM is used for
cross-platform files.
IsLikelyNotMountPoint determines if a directory is not a mountpoint.
It is fast but not necessarily ALWAYS correct. If the path is in fact
a bind mount from one part of a mount to another it will not be detected.
mkdir /tmp/a /tmp/b; mount --bin /tmp/a /tmp/b; IsLikelyNotMountPoint("/tmp/b")
will return true. When in fact /tmp/b is a mount point. So this patch
renames the function and switches it from a positive to a negative (I
could think of a good positive name). This should make future users of
this function aware that it isn't quite perfect, but probably good
enough.
