c631ec5ef5 [uart] Add first pass UART driver and logger
First attempt at a UART driver. I'm not sure it's the most stable. Now
that userspace is handling displaying logs, also removed serial and log
output support from the kernel.

a3fff889d1 [boot] Create bootconfig to tell boot what to load
While bonnibel already had the concept of a manifest, which controls
what goes into the built disk image, the bootloader still had filenames
hard-coded. Now bonnibel creates a 'jsix_boot.dat' file that tells the
bootloader what it should load.

Changes include:

- Modules have two new fields: location and description. location is
  their intended directory on the EFI boot volume. description is
  self-explanatory, and is used in log messages.
- New class, boot::bootconfig, implements reading of jsix_boot.dat
- New header, bootproto/bootconfig.h, specifies flags used in the
  manifest and jsix_boot.dat
- New python module, bonnibel/manifest.py, encapsulates reading of the
  manifest and writing jsix_boot.dat
- Syntax of the manifest changed slightly, including adding flags
- Boot and Kernel target ccflags unified a bit (this was partly due to
  trying to get enum_bitfields to work in boot)
- util::counted gained operator+= and new free function util::read<T>

c9d713fc7f [build] Move to yaml-based build config and manifest
Overall, I believe TOML to be a superior configuration format than YAML
in many situations, but it gets ugly quickly when nesting data
structures. The build configs were fine in TOML, but the manifest (and
my future plans for it) got unwieldy. I also did not want different
formats for each kind of configuration on top of also having a custom
DSL for interface definitions, so I've switched all the TOML to YAML.

Also of note is that this change actually adds structure to the manifest
file, which was little more than a CSV previously.
