unix, windows: don't read/recv if buf.len==0

Make it possible for the libuv user to handle out of memory conditions
gracefully. When alloc_cb() returns a buffer with len==0, call the read
or recv callback with nread=UV_ENOBUFS. It's up to the user to stop or
close the handle.

unix, windows: fix uv_fs_chown() function prototype

Before this commit, uv_fs_chown() and uv_fs_fchown() took the uid and
gid as signed integers which is wrong because uid_t and gid_t are
unsigned on most all platforms and IDs that don't fit in a signed
integer do exist.

This is not an ABI change because the size of the uid and gid arguments
do not change, only their sign.

On Windows, uv_uid_t and uv_gid_t are typedef'd as unsigned char for
reasons that are unclear. It doesn't matter: they get cast to ints when
used as function arguments. The arguments themselves are unused.

Partial fix for joyent/node#5890.

unix, windows: return error codes directly

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.

Don't try to set a bogus UID or GID and expect to get a meaningful
error. The test expected EPERM but SunOS returns EINVAL because the
id is outside of the range of valid user/group ids.

Try to switch to UID/GID 0. Give up privileges first if we're root,
else the setuid/setgid system call will succeed when it's expected
to fail.

Switch to the build tool everyone loves to hate. The Makefile has
served us well over the years but it's been acquiring more and more
features that autotools gives us for free, like easy static+shared
library building, sane install targets, and so on.

This commit drops MinGW support. If there is demand for it, we'll

Before this commit, there was no way to install libuv other than
manually copying required files to the path. This commit introduces
an install target which installs the libuv.a, libuv.so and header files
to the install prefix.

The above will use the default prefix `/usr/local`
