99b59393fe [init] Use a real std::unordered_map for the services map
Now that ceil* works in libc, use std::unordered_map instead of
util::node_map to store the protocol to service mapping.

1a04310f80 [kernel] Simplify mailbox code, and messages
A number of simplifications of mailboxes now that the interface is much
simpler, and synchronous.

* call and respond can now only transfer one handle at a time
* mailbox objects got rid of the message queue, and just have
  wait_queues of blocked threads, and a reply_to map.
* threads now have a message_data struct on them for use by mailboxes

c9bcc87511 [kernel] Simplify mailbox interface to call/respond
The only real usage of mailbox was mailbox_call or
mailbox_respond_receive. This change simplifies the interface to just
these syscalls.

9ac4e51224 [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.

17dcb961ec [srv.init] Serve a service locator protocol from init
The init process now serves as a service locator for its children,
passing all children a mailbox handle on which it is serving the service
locator protocol.
