This PR creates two new externally-facing APIs, uv_err_name_r() and
uv_strerror_r().
In keeping with the precedent set by POSIX, the *_r() suffix of these
two new methods indicate that the caller does the memory management and
passes in the memory that the output will be stored in, which provides
an alternative for the two existent methods (uv_err_name() and
uv_strerror()), which, when called with an unknown error code, leak a
few bytes of memory.

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.
