181fb1b2b5 RS: add infrastructure for mapping socket drivers
This patch introduces the first piece of support for the concept of
"socket drivers": services that implement one or more socket protocol
families.  The latter are also known as "domains", as per the first
parameter of the socket(2) API.  More specifically, this patch adds
the basic infrastructure for specifying that a particular service is
the socket driver for a set of domains.

Unlike major number mappings for block and character drivers, socket
domain mappings are static.  For that reason, they are specified in
system.conf files, using the "domain" keyword.  Such a keyword is to
be followed by one or more protocol families, without their "PF_"
prefix.  For example, a service with the line "domain INET INET6;"
will be mapped as the socket driver responsible for the AF_INET and
AF_INET6 protocol families.

This patch implements only the infrastructure for creating such
mappings; the actual mapping will be implemented in VFS in a later
patch.  The infrastructure is implemented in service(8), RS, and VFS.

For now there is a hardcoded limit of eight domains per socket driver.
This may sound like a lot, but the upcoming new LWIP service will
already use four of those.  Also, it is allowed for a service to be
both a block/character driver and a socket driver at the same time,
which is a requirement for the new LWIP service.

c58da9fbc3 Rename MINIX service(8) to minix-service(8)
IMPORTANT: this change has a docs/UPDATING entry!

This rename is unfortunately necessary because NetBSD has decided to
create its own service(8) utility, and we will want to import theirs
as well.  The two can obviously not coexist.

Also move ours from /bin to /sbin, as it is a superuser-only utility.
