std.os: spring-cleanup and specify organization

- Alphabetically sort things, where reasonable.
- Document, that **only** non-portable posix things belong into posix.zig
  * If there is a portable abstraction, do not offer one in posix.zig
  * Reason: Prevent useless abstractions and needless strong coupling.
- Move posix-only functions into posix.zig, which have either incompatible
  or more extensive execution semantics than their counterparts and can be
  grouped into
  * File permission system
  * Process management
  * Memory management
  * IPC
  * Signaling

Work on ziglang#6600.
