Justine Tunney ae5d06dc53 Unbloat build config 
- 10.5% reduction of o//depend dependency graph
- 8.8% reduction in latency of make command
- Fix issue with temporary file cleanup

There's a new -w option in compile.com that turns off the recent
Landlock output path workaround for "good commands" which do not
unlink() the output file like GNU tooling does.

Our new GNU Make unveil sandboxing appears to have zero overhead
in the grand scheme of things. Full builds are pretty fast since
the only thing that's actually slowed us down is probably libcxx

    make -j16 MODE=rel
    RL: took 85,732,063µs wall time
    RL: ballooned to 323,612kb in size
    RL: needed 828,560,521µs cpu (11% kernel)
    RL: caused 39,080,670 page faults (99% memcpy)
    RL: 350,073 context switches (72% consensual)
    RL: performed 0 reads and 11,494,960 write i/o operations

pledge() and unveil() no longer consider ENOSYS to be an error.
These functions have also been added to Python's cosmo module.

This change also removes some WIN32 APIs and System Five magnums
which we're not using and it's doubtful anyone else would be too

About
=====

_decimal.c is a wrapper for the libmpdec library. libmpdec is a fast C
library for correctly-rounded arbitrary precision decimal floating point
arithmetic. It is a complete implementation of Mike Cowlishaw/IBM's
General Decimal Arithmetic Specification.


Build process for the module
============================

As usual, the build process for _decimal.so is driven by setup.py in the top
level directory. setup.py autodetects the following build configurations:

   1) x64         - 64-bit Python, x86_64 processor (AMD, Intel)

   2) uint128     - 64-bit Python, compiler provides __uint128_t (gcc)

   3) ansi64      - 64-bit Python, ANSI C

   4) ppro        - 32-bit Python, x86 CPU, PentiumPro or later

   5) ansi32      - 32-bit Python, ANSI C

   6) ansi-legacy - 32-bit Python, compiler without uint64_t

   7) universal   - Mac OS only (multi-arch)


It is possible to override autodetection by exporting:

   PYTHON_DECIMAL_WITH_MACHINE=value, where value is one of the above options.


NOTE
====

decimal.so is not built from a static libmpdec.a since doing so led to
failures on AIX (user report) and Windows (mixing static and dynamic CRTs
causes locale problems and more).
