Add //pkg/syncevent.

Package syncevent is intended to subsume ~all uses of channels in the sentry
(including //pkg/waiter), as well as //pkg/sleep.

Compared to channels:

- Delivery of events to a syncevent.Receiver allows *synchronous* execution of
  an arbitrary callback, whereas delivery of events to a channel requires a
  goroutine to receive from that channel, resulting in substantial scheduling
  overhead. (This is also part of the motivation for the waiter package.)

- syncevent.Waiter can wait on multiple event sources without the high O(N)
  overhead of select. (This is the same motivation as for the sleep package.)

Compared to the waiter package:

- syncevent.Waiters are intended to be persistent (i.e. per-kernel.Task), and
  syncevent.Broadcaster (analogous to waiter.Queue) is a hash table rather than
  a linked list, such that blocking is (usually) allocation-free.

- syncevent.Source (analogous to waiter.Waitable) does not include an equivalent
  to waiter.Waitable.Readiness(), since this is inappropriate for transient
  events (see e.g. //pkg/sentry/kernel/time.ClockEventSource).

Compared to the sleep package:

- syncevent events are represented by bits in a bitmask rather than discrete
  sleep.Waker objects, reducing overhead and making it feasible to broadcast
  events to multiple syncevent.Receivers.

- syncevent.Receiver invokes an arbitrary callback, which is required by the
  sentry's epoll implementation. (syncevent.Waiter, which is analogous to
  sleep.Sleeper, pairs a syncevent.Receiver with a callback that wakes a
  waiting goroutine; the implementation of this aspect is nearly identical to
  that of sleep.Sleeper, except that it represents *runtime.g as unsafe.Pointer
  rather than uintptr.)

- syncevent.Waiter.Wait (analogous to sleep.Sleeper.Fetch(block=true)) does not
  automatically un-assert returned events. This is useful in cases where the
  path for handling an event is not the same as the path that observes it, such
  as for application signals (a la Linux's TIF_SIGPENDING).

- Unlike sleep.Sleeper, which Fetches Wakers in the order that they were
  Asserted, the event bitmasks used by syncevent.Receiver have no way of
  preserving event arrival order. (This is similar to select, which goes out of
  its way to randomize event ordering.)

The disadvantage of the syncevent package is that, since events are represented
by bits in a uint64 bitmask, each syncevent.Receiver can "only" multiplex
between 64 distinct events; this does not affect any known use case.
