The following special extended I/O system calls are being renamed:
__accept -> extaccept
__connect -> extconnect
__pread -> extpread
__preadv -> extpreadv
__pwrite -> extpwrite
__pwritev -> extpwritev
Only libc, libc_r, and the vitrual kernel use these calls so far,
and the syscall numbers are not changing, so it should be safe
to rename them without having to bump the libc version.
A full build / install sequence is recommended. I will commit
the changes as soon as I test exactly that.
