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.

This commit changes the libuv API to return error codes directly rather
than storing them in a loop-global field.
A code snippet like this one:
if (uv_foo(loop) < 0) {
uv_err_t err = uv_last_error(loop);
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
}
Should be rewritten like this:
int err = uv_foo(loop);
if (err < 0)
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
The rationale for this change is that it should make creating bindings
for other languages a lot easier: dealing with struct return values is
painful with most FFIs and often downright buggy.
