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.
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.

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.
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
