Use the new futimens syscall to ensure futimens can actually work.
This change for example allows a user to run "touch non-existing-file"
without getting any error, as expected.
The extra argument to fcntl is a pointer in the case of F_GETLK/F_SETLK
and we were pulling out a u32, leading to pointer truncation on x86_64.
Among other things, this fixes Assistant on x86_64 :^)
This patch begins the work of sharing types and macros between Kernel
and LibC instead of duplicating them via the kludge in UnixTypes.h.
The basic idea is that the Kernel vends various POSIX headers via
Kernel/API/POSIX/ and LibC simply #include's them to get the macros.
With the new InodeWatcher API, the old style of creating a watcher per
inode will no longer work. Therefore the FileWatcher API has been
updated to support multiple watches, and its users have also been
refactored to the new style. At the moment, all operations done on a
(Blocking)FileWatcher return Result objects, however, this may be
changed in the future if it becomes too obnoxious. :^)

This achieves two things:
- Programs can now intentionally perform arbitrary syscalls by calling
syscall(). This allows us to work on things like syscall fuzzing.
- It restricts the ability of userspace to make syscalls to a single
4KB page of code. In order to call the kernel directly, an attacker
must now locate this page and call through it.
This API was a mostly gratuitous deviation from POSIX that gave up some
portability in exchange for avoiding the occasional strlen().
I don't think that was actually achieving anything valuable, so let's
just chill out and have the same open() API as everyone else. :^)
