These functions are complicated because they need to be marked
"noreturn" for the compiler. There are several fundamentally
incompatible ways of doing that. Since we have only a few "noreturn"
functions, let's just list all of those in one header file of which
there is a completely different version for each compiler.
I planned to put just the file system routines into these files, but
there are starting to be so many of them that I don't want to
duplicate the same set for networking, subprocesses etc.
For number types, we rely on classic C types (char, short, int, long) to be
the correct sizes. For precise bit widths, use standard intN_t and uintN_t.
For size_t, just use system size_t.
