syscount: Use ausyscalls if available to get syscall list

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.
