[kernel] Expose a sysconf page to userspace

A structure, system_config, which is dynamically defined by the
definitions/sysconf.yaml config, is now mapped into every user address
space. The kernel fills this with information about itself and the
running machine.

User programs access this through the new j6_sysconf fake syscall in
libj6.
