[libcxx] Handle windows system error code mapping in std::error_code. (#93101)
The `std::error_code`/`std::error_category` functionality is designed to
support multiple error domains. On Unix, both system calls and libc
functions return the same error codes, and thus, libc++ today treats
`generic_category()` and `system_category()` as being equivalent.
However, on Windows, libc functions return `errno.h` error codes in the
`errno` global, but system calls return the very different `winerror.h`
error codes via `GetLastError()`.
As such, there is a need to map the winerror.h error codes into generic
errno codes. In libc++, however, the system_error facility does not
implement this mapping; instead the mapping is hidden inside libc++,
used directly by the std::filesystem implementation.
That has a few problems:
1. For std::filesystem APIs, the concrete windows error number is lost,
before users can see it. The intent of the distinction between
std::error_code and std::error_condition is that the error_code return
has the original (potentially more detailed) error code.
2. User-written code which calls Windows system APIs requires this same
mapping, so it also can also return error_code objects that other
(cross-platform) code can understand.
After this commit, an `error_code` with `generic_category()` is used to
report an error from `errno`, and, on Windows only, an `error_code` with
`system_category()` is used to report an error from `GetLastError()`. On
Unix, system_category remains identity-mapped to generic_category, but
is never used by libc++ itself.
The windows error code mapping is moved into system_error, so that
conversion of an `error_code` to `error_condition` correctly translates
the `system_category()` code into a `generic_category()` code, when
appropriate.
This allows code like:
`error_code(GetLastError(), system_category()) == errc::invalid_argument`
to work as expected -- as it does with MSVC STL.
