Andrei Vagin 192bfb03fb Open-sourcing the systrap platform.
The systrap platform like the ptrace platform uses stub processes to manage
the user address space. The difference is how they intercept system calls and
other events like memory faults, exceptions, etc.

In case of systrap, all events that have to be handled by the Sentry trigger
signals that are handled by a custom signal handler installed on stub
processes. The signal handler switches control to the Sentry.

Here are a few other optimizations:
* On x86, system calls can be replaced with a function call to remove overhead
  of signals.
* For fast interactions of sentry and stub processes, futex wait/wake can
  be a bottle neck, so we use a polling mode.

The platform is launched for the purpose of testing and gathering initial
feedback. It is not yet ready for use in production.
