4125175870 [kernel] Give threads initial arguments
This commit changes the add_user_thunk to point to a new routine,
initialize_user_cpu, which sets all the registers that were previously
unset when starting a new user thread. The values for rdi and rsi are
popped off the initial stack values that add_user_thunk sets up, so that
user thread procs can take up to two arguments.

To suppor this, j6_thread_create gained two new arguments, which are
passed on to the thread.

This also let me finally get rid of the hack of passing an argument in
rsp when starting init.

f05a1d3310 [kernel] Revive the debugcon logger as a kernel thread
The debugcon logger is now separate from logger::output, and is instead
a kernel-internal thread that watches for logs and prints them to the
deubcon device.

ada660deeb [kernel] Move log buffer to its own memory section
In prep for the coming change to keep log entries as a true ring buffer,
move the log buffer from bss into its own memory section.

Related changes in this commit:
- New vm_area_ring, which maps a set of pages twice to allow easy linear
  reading of data from a ring buffer when it wraps around the end.
- logger_init() went away, and the logger ctor is called from
  mem::initialize()
- Instead of an event object, the logger just has a bare wait_queue
- util::counted::from template type changed slightly to allow easy
  conversion from an intptr_t as well as a pointer
- Previously added debugcon_logger code removed - this will be added in
  a separate file in a followup commit

ab31825ab3 [boot] Restructure boot paging and program loading
Restructuring paging into an object that carries its page cache with it
and makes for simpler code. Program loading is also changed to not copy
the pages loaded from the file into new pages - we can impose a new
constraint that anything loaded by boot have a simple, page-aligned
layout so that we can just map the existing pages into the right
addresses. Also included are some linker script changes to help
accommodate this.

28cd3bb625 [kernel] Rename kernel main.cpp
Having main.cpp in the kernel and in the application being debugged is
annoying when setting breakpoints, so just like with main() vs
kernel_main(), kernel/main.cpp is now kernel/kernel_main.cpp.
