- Fix preadv() and pwritev() for old distros
- Introduce _npassert() and _unassert() macros
- Prove that file locks work properly on Windows
- Support fcntl(F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC) on more systems

* This function implements POSIX Advisory Locks, which let independent
* processes (and on Windows, threads too!) read/write lock byte ranges
* of files. See `test/libc/calls/lock_test.c` for an example.

* Please be warned that locks currently do nothing on Windows since
* figuring out how to polyfill them correctly is a work in progress.
