e0246df26b [kernel] Add automatic verification to syscalls
Since we have a DSL for specifying syscalls, we can create a verificaton
method for each syscall that can cover most argument (and eventually
capability) verification instead of doing it piecemeal in each syscall
implementation, which can be more error-prone.

Now a new _syscall_verify_* function exists for every syscall, which
calls the real implementation. The syscall table for the syscall handler
now maps to these verify functions.

Other changes:

- Updated the definition grammar to allow options to have a "key:value"
  style, to eventually support capabilities.
- Added an "optional" option for parameters that says a syscall will
  accept a null value.
- Some bonnibel fixes, as definition file changes weren't always
  properly causing updates in the build dep graph.
- The syscall implementation function signatures are no longer exposed
  in syscall.h. Also, the unused syscall enum has been removed.

186724e751 [project] Generate syscalls from new interface DSL
This change adds a new interface DSL for specifying objects (with
methods) and interfaces (that expose objects, and optionally have their
own methods).

Significant changes:

- Add the new scripts/definitions Python module to parse the DSL
- Add the new definitions directory containing DSL definition files
- Use cog to generate syscall-related code in kernel and libj6
- Unify ordering of pointer + length pairs in interfaces
