This commit adds the z/OS implementation of ptrace as well as other minor changes:

  • Adds new syscall number constants
  • Refactors code to reduce duplication
  • A small register optimization

- Adds a ptrace implementation that provides a linux-compatible api as
  closely as possible
- Core ptrace operations are implemented using z/OS's BPX4PTR syscall.
  Memory operations use PT_READ_BLOCK/PT_WRITE_BLOCK. Register
  operations use PT_READ_GPR/PT_WRITE_GPR for 64-bit values.
- z/OS lacks native single-step support so it is emulated using
  temporary breakpoints.
- Unsupported operations return ENOSYS
Move z/OS LE interaction functions from unix package to runtime package
in order to reduce code duplication.
- Changes bpxcall to use R15 instead of R9, reducing register pressure.

Patch Set 1:

Congratulations on opening your first change. Thank you for your contribution!

Next steps:
A maintainer will review your change and provide feedback. See
https://go.dev/doc/contribute#review for more info and tips to get your
patch through code review.

Most changes in the Go project go through a few rounds of revision. This can be
surprising to people new to the project. The careful, iterative review process
is our way of helping mentor contributors and ensuring that their contributions
have a lasting impact.

During May-July and Nov-Jan the Go project is in a code freeze, during which
little code gets reviewed or merged. If a reviewer responds with a comment like
R=go1.11 or adds a tag like "wait-release", it means that this CL will be
reviewed as part of the next development cycle. See https://go.dev/s/release
for more details.
