Philippe Laferriere f1863dae6b unix,win: add uv_translate_sys_error() public API
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.

Error handling
==============
In libuv errors are negative numbered constants. As a rule of thumb, whenever
there is a status parameter, or an API functions returns an integer, a negative
number will imply an error.
When a function which takes a callback returns an error, the callback will never
be called.
.. note::
Implementation detail: on Unix error codes are the negated `errno` (or `-errno`), while on
Windows they are defined by libuv to arbitrary negative numbers.

API
---
.. c:function:: const char* uv_strerror(int err)
Returns the error message for the given error code. Leaks a few bytes
of memory when you call it with an unknown error code.
.. c:function:: const char* uv_err_name(int err)
Returns the error name for the given error code. Leaks a few bytes
of memory when you call it with an unknown error code.
.. c:function:: int uv_translate_sys_error(int sys_errno)
Returns the libuv error code equivalent to the given platform dependent error
code: POSIX error codes on Unix (the ones stored in `errno`), and Win32 error
codes on Windows (those returned by `GetLastError()` or `WSAGetLastError()`).
If `sys_errno` is already a libuv error, it is simply returned.
.. versionchanged:: 1.10.0 function declared public.
