Passing or returning structs as values makes life hard for people that
work with libuv through a foreign function interface. Switch to a
pointer-based approach.
Fixes#684.

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.
This changes the prototype of uv_run() from:
int uv_run(uv_loop_t* loop);
To:
int uv_run(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_run_mode mode);
Where `mode` is UV_RUN_DEFAULT, UV_RUN_ONCE or UV_RUN_NOWAIT.
Fixes#683.
Replace `void f()` with `void f(void)`; the former means "a function
that takes any number of arguments, including none" while the latter
is what is actually intended: a function taking no arguments.
The first form also isn't strictly conforming ANSI/ISO C.
This changes uv-win to use the new uv_req subclasses.
It gets rid of the uv_req.flags field. There used to be only request flag
(UV_REQ_PENDING), and it was mostly obsolete; it only had a real purpose for
internal uv_read requests. Now we'll use the UV_HANDLE_READ_PENDING flag on
the handle instead.
This patch also simplifies the accept logic for named pipes on windows. We
no longer have a separate struct to store information about established
connections. Instead we just carry over the windows HANDLE from the accept
request to the client handle in uv_pipe_accept().
Instead of uv_shutdown, uv_write, uv_connect taking raw uv_req_t we subclass
uv_req_t into uv_shutdown_t, uv_write_t, and uv_connect_t.
uv_req_init is removed.
