uv_translate_sys_error() was a private function for Windows.
This commit adds an equivalent function on other platforms, and
exposes it as public API.
Exposing this is useful in scenarios where the application uses
both libuv functions and platform-specific system calls and wants
to report errors uniformly as libuv errors.

Make uv_err_name() and uv_strerror() return a dynamically allocated
string when the error code is not recognized.
It leaks a few bytes of memory but that can't be helped. Asserting
and aborting is, in my opinion, much less helpful.
