If ausyscall is installed, it can provide a clean, up-to-date list of syscall numbers for the current architecture. This is much more useful than the default hardcoded list for x86-64, which is currently used by syscount. Try to run `ausyscall --dump` and parse the output before resorting to the static list. Tested on FC/Linux 4.9 and produces 327 syscalls. Resolves iovisor#1001.
