sim-se: change syscall function signature

The system calls had four parameters. One of the parameters
is ThreadContext and another is Process. The ThreadContext
holds the value of the current process so the Process parameter
is redundant since the system call functions already have
indirect access.

With the old API, it is possible to call into the functions with
the wrong supplied Process which could end up being a confusing
error.

This patch removes the redundancy by forcing access through the
ThreadContext field within each system call.
