syscall: define no-op Errno type on plan9

Go's api/go1.txt's has line "pkg syscall, type Errno uintptr",
suggesting people should assume this type always exists. It does
for GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm too, which was also added later.

Adding this here lets portable code be written without build-tagged
files, using runtime.GOOS checks instead.
