This patch adds the implementation of the BSD socket system calls
which have been introduced in an earlier patch. At the same time, it
adds support for communication with socket drivers, using a new
"socket device" (SDEV_) protocol. These two parts, implemented in
socket.c and sdev.c respectively, form the upper and lower halves of
the new BSD socket support in VFS. New mapping functionality for
socket domains and drivers is added as well, implemented in smap.c.
The rest of the changes mainly facilitate the separation of character
and socket driver calls, and do not make any fundamental alterations.
For example, while this patch changes VFS's select.c rather heavily,
the new select logic for socket drivers is the exact same as for
character drivers; the changes mainly separate the driver type
specific parts from the generic select logic further than before.

Previously, VFS would use various subsets of a number of fproc
structure fields to store state when the process is blocked
(suspended) for various reasons. As a result, there was a fair
amount of abuse of fields, hidden state, and confusion as to
which fields were used with which suspension states.
Instead, the suspension state is now split into per-state
structures, which are then stored in a union. Each of the union's
structures should be accessed only right before, during, and right
after the fp_blocked_on field is set to the corresponding blocking
type. As a result, it is now very clear which fields are in use
at which times, and we even save a bit of memory as a side effect.

- About 80% of PM's process table consisted of per-signal sigaction
structures. This is information not used by the MIB service, and
can safely be stored outside the main process table.
- The MIB service does not need most of the VFS process table, so VFS
now generates a "light" version of its table upon request, with just
the fields used by the MIB service.
The result is a size reduction of the MIB service of about 700KB.

The current values were both inaccurate (especially for dynamically
linked executables) and using the wrong unit (bytes, instead of
kilobytes times ticks-of-execution). For now we are better off not
populating these fields at all.

There is no reason to keep these tightly coupled data structures
separate. Moreover, there is no reason to have a union of file
descriptor and file pointer, since the second can be derived from
the first. The result are somewhat cleaner VFS internals.

This patch fixes two related issues:
- If a large (>PIPE_BUF) pipe write is processed partially, only to be
followed by a write error condition, then the process is left in an
incorrect state, possibly causing VFS to crash on a subsequent call.
- If such a partially processed large pipe write ends up resulting in
an EPIPE error, no corresponding SIGPIPE signal is generated.
The corrected behavior is tested in test68.
