Historically we've assumed that we can install all signal handlers
with the SA_RESTART flag set, and let the system restart slow functions
if a signal is received. Therefore, we don't have to worry about EINTR.
This is only partially true, and we've added EINTR checks already for
connect, and open/read on Darwin, and sendfile on Solaris.
Other cases have turned up in #36644, #38033, and #38836.
Also, #20400 points out that when Go code is included in a C program,
the C program may install its own signal handlers without SA_RESTART.
In that case, Go code will see EINTR no matter what it does.
So, go ahead and check for EINTR. We don't check in the syscall package;
people using syscalls directly may want to check for EINTR themselves.
But we do check for EINTR in the higher level APIs in os and net,
and retry the system call if we see it.
This change looks safe, but of course we may be missing some cases
where we need to check for EINTR. As such cases turn up, we can add
tests to runtime/testdata/testprogcgo/eintr.go, and fix the code.
If there are any such cases, their handling after this change will be
no worse than it is today.
