[wasi-common]: yanix now returns io::Error directly (#1242)
* Yanix now returns io::Error This commit may seem somewhat controversial at first, but hear me out first. Currently, Yanix would return a custom error that's a wrapper around three other error types returned by various entities inside Rust's `libstd`. In particular, Yanix's error type would wrap `io::Error`, `num::TryFromIntError` and `ffi::NulError`. It turns out that there is a natural conversion between the first and the last and provided by the standard library, i.e., `From<ffi::NulError> for io::Error` is provided. So at the surface it may seem that only the first two wrapped error types are worth keeping. Digging a little bit deeper into `libstd`, `num::TryFromIntError` is essentially speaking only a marker that the integral conversion went wrong. The struct implementing this error stores a unit type, and nothing more. It therefore seems like a waste to wrap this particular error when we could unify everything under `io::Error`. And so, whenever we perform an int conversion, I suggest we simply remap the error to `io::Error::from_raw_os_error(libc::EOVERFLOW)` since this carries a comparable amount of information. As a result of completely discarding `yanix::Error` custom error type, we are invariably simplifying `yanix` itself, but also allowing `wasi-common` to simplify in several places as well. * Adapt wasi-common to changes in yanix * Add Cargo.lock * Unwrap try_into's where possible * Remove unnecessary type annotation
