2b778ceb40 Update copyright dates with scripts/update-copyrights
I used these shell commands:

../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")

and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master

4cf0d22305 Linux: Add tables with system call numbers
The new tables are currently only used for consistency checks
with the installed kernel headers and the architecture-independent
system call names table.  They are based on Linux 5.4.

The goal is to use these architecture-specific tables to ensure
that system call wrappers are available irrespective of the version
of the installed kernel headers.

The tables are formatted in the form of C header files so that they
can be used directly in an #include directive, without external
preprocessing.  (External preprocessing of a plain table file
would introduce cross-subdirectory dependency issues.)  However,
the intent is that they can still be treated as tables and can be
processed by simple tools.

The irregular system call names on 32-bit arm add a complication.
The <fixup-asm-unistd.h> header is introduced to work around that,
and the system calls are listed under regular names in the
<arch-syscall.h> file.

A make target, update-syscalls-list, is added to patch the glibc
sources with data from the current kernel headers.
