58bc5acb1e [kernel] Add object_signal system call
Add a system call to assert signals on a given object, only within the
range of user-settable signals. Also made object_wait return
immediately if any of the given signals are already set.

d3e9d92466 [kernel] Add channel objects
Add the channel object for sending messages between threads. Currently
no good of passing channels to other threads, but global variables in a
single process work. Currently channels are slow and do double copies,
need to refine more.

ae3290c53d [kernel] Add userspace threading
Implement the syscalls necessary for threads to create other threads in
their same process. This involved rearranging a number of syscalls, as
well as implementing object_wait and a basic implementation of a
process' list of handles.

4cf222a5bb [kernel] Remove getpid and fork system calls
The getpid and fork system calls were stubbed out previously, this
commit removes them and adds process_koid as a getpid replacement.

b056d95920 Organize system calls
* syscalls should all return j6_status_t now
* syscalls are grouped by category in name as well as in files

11a53e792f Improve syscalls for new task switching
There are a lot of under the hood changes here:
- Move syscalls to be a dispatch table, defined by syscalls.inc
- Don't need a full process state (push_all) in syscalls now
- In push_all, define REGS instead of using offsets
- Save TWO stack pointers as well as current saved stack pointer in TCB:
  - rsp0 is the base of the kernel stack for interrupts
  - rsp3 is the saved user stack from cpu_data
- Update syscall numbers in nulldrv
- Some asm-debugging enhancements to the gdb script
- fork() still not working

ca2362f858 Simplify task switches
No longer using the rsp from the entry to the kernel, but instead
switching rsp at task-switching time in assembly.

This currently breaks fork()
