tools/nolibc: sys.h: add a syscall return helper

Most of the library routines share the same syscall return logic:

  In general, a 0 return value indicates success.  A -1 return value
  indicates an error, and an error number is stored in errno. [1]

Let's add a __sysret() helper for the above logic to simplify the coding
and shrink the code lines too.

Thomas suggested to use inline function instead of macro for __sysret().

Willy suggested to make __sysret() be always inline.
