[kernel] Make capabilities/handles global
Instead of handles / capabilities having numeric ids that are only valid for the owning process, they are now global in a system capabilities table. This will allow for specifying capabilities in IPC that doesn't need to be kernel-controlled. Processes will still need to be granted access to given capabilities, but that can become a simpler system call than the current method of sending them through mailbox messages (and worse, having to translate every one into a new capability like was the case before). In order to track which handles a process has access to, a new node_set based on node_map allows for an efficient storage and lookup of handles.
