363d30eadc [elf] Ressurect elf library
Resurrect the existing but unused ELF library in libraries/elf, and use
it instead of boot/elf.h for parsing ELF files in the bootloader.

Also adds a const version of offset_iterator called
const_offset_iterator.

1802c5ea2e [boot] Seperate video out from console
Separate the video mode setting out from the console code into video.*,
and remove the framebuffer from the kernel args, moving it to the new
init args format.

0b2df134ce [boot] Improve bootloader allocation accounting
The bootloader relied on the kernel to know which parts of memory to not
allocate over. For the future shift of having the init process load
other processes instead of the kernel, the bootloader needs a mechanism
to just hand the kernel a list of allocations. This is now done through
the new bootloader allocator, which all allocation goes through. Pool
memory will not be tracked, and so can be overwritten - this means the
args structure and its other structures like programs need to be handled
right away, or copied by the kernel.

- Add bootloader allocator
- Implement a new linked-list based set of pages that act as allocation
  registers
- Allow for operator new in the bootloader, which goes through the
  global allocator for pool memory
- Split memory map and frame accouting code in the bootloader into
  separate memory_map.* files
- Remove many includes that could be replaced by forward declaration in
  the bootloader
- Add a new global template type, `counted`, which replaces the
  bootloader's `buffer` type, and updated kernel args structure to use it.
- Move bootloader's pointer_manipulation.h to the global include dir
- Make offset_iterator try to return references instead of pointers to
  make it more consistent with static array iteration
- Implement a stub atexit() in the bootloader to satisfy clang
