6780ab1b67 [abi] Add j6_err_exists
This error was used by code that didn't end up getting used, but it's a
useful error to keep around.

8534d8d3c5 [kernel] Add endpoint object and related syscalls
The endpoint object adds synchronous IPC. Also added the wait-type of
'object' to threads.

42455873ff [kernel] Make stdout channel available to processes
The "fake" stdout channel is now being passed in the new j6_process_init
structure to processes, and nulldrv now uses it to print a message to
the console.

58bc5acb1e [kernel] Add object_signal system call
Add a system call to assert signals on a given object, only within the
range of user-settable signals. Also made object_wait return
immediately if any of the given signals are already set.

d3e9d92466 [kernel] Add channel objects
Add the channel object for sending messages between threads. Currently
no good of passing channels to other threads, but global variables in a
single process work. Currently channels are slow and do double copies,
need to refine more.

ae3290c53d [kernel] Add userspace threading
Implement the syscalls necessary for threads to create other threads in
their same process. This involved rearranging a number of syscalls, as
well as implementing object_wait and a basic implementation of a
process' list of handles.

ef5c333030 [kernel] Create process kernel object
Re-implent the concept of processes as separate from threads, and as a
kobject API object. Also improve scheduler::prune which was doing some
unnecessary iterations.

794c86f9b4 [kernel] Add thead kobject class
Add the thread kernel API object and move the scheduler to use threads
instead of processes for scheduling and task switching.

b056d95920 Organize system calls
* syscalls should all return j6_status_t now
* syscalls are grouped by category in name as well as in files
