flag parameters: epoll_create

This patch adds the new epoll_create2 syscall.  It extends the old epoll_create
syscall by one parameter which is meant to hold a flag value.  In this
patch the only flag support is EPOLL_CLOEXEC which causes the close-on-exec
flag for the returned file descriptor to be set.

A new name EPOLL_CLOEXEC is introduced which in this implementation must
have the same value as O_CLOEXEC.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.
