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.
