Improve docs of more system calls
This change also found a few POSIX compliance bugs with errnos. Another
bug was discovered where, on Windows, pread() and pwrite() could modify
the file position in cases where ReadFile() returned an error e.g. when
seeking past the end of file. We also have more tests!

/**
* Returns process id.
*
* This function does not need to issue a system call. The PID is
* tracked by a global variable which is updated at fork(). The only
* exception is when the process is vfork()'d in which case a system
* call shall be issued. This optimization helps make functions like
* rand64() fork-safe, however it could lead to race conditions in
* programs that mix fork() with threads. In that case, apps should
* consider using `sys_getpid().ax` instead to force a system call.
*
* On Linux, and only Linux, getpid() is guaranteed to equal gettid()
* for the main thread.
*
* @return process id (always successful)
* @asyncsignalsafe
* @threadsafe
* @vforksafe
