rG9aaf4e3be61f: libc/*/SYS.h: remove SYCALL macro

Summary

This hasn't been a univerally available interface since it was removed
from amd64 by commit efbef97de9805dec95db09953426f0b21bb2964f in 2004.
I removed the last consumers in 2016 when I replaced pipe(2) with
pipe2(2) in commit b60998c6331e2be21f1fc29fa6c82d94a1f72ef0.

I love the smell of deleted cruft.

it would be nice if there were a universal _SYSCALL for all platforms... x86 seems to be missing it... Sometimes I want to create binaries with *JUST* system calls... though maybe libsys will be that thing?

But this is fine.

Coming soon, but I figured I'd get this one out of the way since it's lower risk than touching code that's actually used.

Forgot to tick accepted, but clicking it harder after brooks' answer :)
