f1246f84e0 [kernel] Add capabilities to handles
This change finally adds capabilities to handles. Included changes:

- j6_handle_t is now again 64 bits, with the highest 8 bits being a type
  code, and the next highest 24 bits being the capability mask, so that
  programs can check type/caps without calling the kernel.
- The definitions grammar now includes a `capabilities [ ]` section on
  objects, to list what capabilities are relevant.
- j6/caps.h is auto-generated from object capability lists
- init_libj6 again sets __handle_self and __handle_sys, this is a bit
  of a hack.
- A new syscall, j6_handle_list, will return the list of existing
  handles owned by the calling process.
- syscall_verify.cpp.cog now actually checks that the needed
  capabilities exist on handles before allowing the call.

e0246df26b [kernel] Add automatic verification to syscalls
Since we have a DSL for specifying syscalls, we can create a verificaton
method for each syscall that can cover most argument (and eventually
capability) verification instead of doing it piecemeal in each syscall
implementation, which can be more error-prone.

Now a new _syscall_verify_* function exists for every syscall, which
calls the real implementation. The syscall table for the syscall handler
now maps to these verify functions.

Other changes:

- Updated the definition grammar to allow options to have a "key:value"
  style, to eventually support capabilities.
- Added an "optional" option for parameters that says a syscall will
  accept a null value.
- Some bonnibel fixes, as definition file changes weren't always
  properly causing updates in the build dep graph.
- The syscall implementation function signatures are no longer exposed
  in syscall.h. Also, the unused syscall enum has been removed.

19f9496889 [kernel] Add a timeout to endpoint recieve syscalls
This also required adding support for multiple wait conditions on a
thread, so wait_type is an enum_bitfield now.

I really need a real clock.

186724e751 [project] Generate syscalls from new interface DSL
This change adds a new interface DSL for specifying objects (with
methods) and interfaces (that expose objects, and optionally have their
own methods).

Significant changes:

- Add the new scripts/definitions Python module to parse the DSL
- Add the new definitions directory containing DSL definition files
- Use cog to generate syscall-related code in kernel and libj6
- Unify ordering of pointer + length pairs in interfaces
