After Jigsaw M1, there is a new common "unix" directory structure. We
have used "posix" in the build system for the same purpose, but this
leads to unnecessary conversations. Instead, we should use "unix" all
way through in the build system.
Also, this means that OS_API is slightly misleading -- we're not
actually checking for an API such as POSIX, but the general category of
OSes. I'll rename the *_OS_API to *_OS_TYPE instead. The "winapi" OS_API
was never used, and is removed -- we only need to check for "windows",
there's no need to introduce an abstract "winapi" category.
