sim: nltvals: pull target syscalls out into a dedicated source file
Like we just did for pulling out the errno map, pull out the syscall maps into a dedicated common file. Most newlib ports are using the same syscall map, but not all, which means we have to do a bit more work to migrate. This commit adds the maps and switches the ports using the common default syscall table over to it. Ports using unique syscall tables are still using the old targ-map.c logic. Switching common ports over is easy by checking NL_TARGET, but the ppc code needs a bit more cleanup here hence its larger diff.
