[PATCH v3 09/18] powerpc: Enable compile-time check for syscall handlers

The table of syscall handlers and registered compatibility syscall
handlers has in past been produced using assembly, with function
references resolved at link time. This moves link-time errors to
compile-time, by rewriting systbl.S in C, and including the
linux/syscalls.h, linux/compat.h and asm/syscalls.h headers for
prototypes.
