e830a3d37b [kernel] Move slab_allocated items to the heap
Allocate the slabs for slab-allocated items to the heap, now that heap
regions are aligned. This also lets the slab sizes be non-page-sized.

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.

e90647d498 [kernel] Change heap alloc for better alignment
Created a new util/node_map.h that implements a map that grows in-place.
Now this is used for tracking blocks' size orders, instead of a header
at the start of the memory block. This allows the whole buddy block to
be allocated, allowing for page-aligned (or greater) blocks to be
requested from the heap.

dd535158f2 [kernel] Re-add slab_allocated mixin
The return of slab_allocated! Now after the kutil/util/kernel giant
cleanup, this belongs squarely in the kernel, and works much better
there. Slabs are allocated via a bump pointer into a new kernel VMA,
instead of using kalloc() or allocating pages directly.

939022bb5e [build] Change memory_layout from csv to yaml
I realized we don't need yet another format for configuration. As a
bonus, yaml also allows for a more descriptive file.
