Pull this widely-useful header out of kutil, so more things can use it.
Also replace its dependency on <type_traits> by defining our own custom
basic_types.h which contains a subset of the standard's types.
Changing the SFINAE/enable_if strategy from a type to a constexpr
function means that it can be defined in other scopes than the functions
themselves, because of function overloading. This lets us put everything
into the kutil::bitfields namespace, and make bitfields out of enums in
other namespaces. Also took the chance to clean up the implementation a
bit.
Several changes were needed to make this work:
- Update the page_table::flags to understand memory caching types
- Set up the PAT MSR to add the WC option
- Make page-offset area mapped as WT
- Add all the MTRR and PAT MSRs, and log the MTRRs for verification
- Add a vm_area flag for write_combining
The allowed flag was janky and easy to get lost when doing page table
manipulation. All allocation goes throug vm_area now, so 'allowed' can
be dropped.
The vm_space allow() functionality was a bit janky; using VMAs for all
regions would be a lot cleaner. To that end, this change:
- Adds a "static array" ctor to kutil::vector for setting the kernel
address space's VMA list. This way a kernel heap VMA can be created
without the heap already existing.
- Splits vm_area into different subclasses depending on desired behavior
- Splits out the concept of vm_mapper which maps vm_areas to vm_spaces,
so that some kinds of VMA can be inherently single-space
- Implements VMA resizing so that userspace can grow allocations.
- Obsolete page_table_indices is removed
Also, the following bugs were fixed:
- kutil::map iterators on empty maps no longer break
- memory::page_count was doing page-align, not page-count

vm_space no longer relies on page_manager to map pages during a page
fault. Other changes that come with this commit:
- C++ standard has been changed to C++17
- enum bitfield operators became constexpr
- enum bifrield operators can take a mix of ints and enum arguments
- added page table flags enum instead of relying on ints
- remove page_table::unmap_table and page_table::unmap_pages
vm_space and page_table continue to take over duties from
page_manager:
- creation and deletion of address spaces / pml4s
- cross-address-space copies for endpoints
- taking over pml4 ownership from process
Also fixed the bug where the wrong process was being set in the cpu
data.
To solve: now the kernel process has its own vm_space which is not
g_kernel_space.
This is the first commit of several reworking the VM system. The main
focus is replacing page_manager's global functionality with objects
representing individual VM spaces. The main changes in this commit were:
- Adding the (as yet unused) vm_area object, which will be the main
point of control for programs to allocate or share memory.
- Replace the old vm_space with a new one based on state in its page
tables. They will also be containers for vm_areas.
- vm_space takes over from page_manager as the page fault handler
- Commented out the page walking in memory_bootstrap; I'll probably need
to recreate this functionality, but it was broken as it was.
- Split out the page_table.h implementations from page_manager.cpp into
the new page_table.cpp, updated it, and added page_table::iterator as
well.
There were a few lingering bugs due to places where 510/511 were
hard-coded as the kernel-space PML4 entries. These are now constants
defined in kernel_memory.h instead.

Created a new `memory_initialize()` function that uses the new-style
kernel args structure from the new bootloader.
Additionally:
* Fixed a hard-coded interrupt EOI address that didn't work with new
memory locations
* Make the `page_manager::fault_handler()` automatically grant pages
in the kernel heap
