- synchronize request type with ioctl by making it unsigned long;
- unbreak VFS requests, as they were being sent to PM;
- use proper ioctl direction flags (and new numbers) for requests;
- remove some needless header inclusions;
- svrctl is in libc, make its message name reflect this;
- keep backward compatibility: svrctl is part of the userland ABI.

In order to avoid creating libfsdriver exceptions, two changes to VFS
are necessary:
- the returned position field for reads/writes is no longer abused to
return the new pipe size; VFS is perfectly capable of updating the
size itself;
- during system startup, PFS is now sent a mount request, just like all
other file systems.
In proper "two steps forward, one step back" fashion, the latter point
has the consequence that PFS can no longer drop its privileges at
startup. This is probably best resolved with a more general solution
for all boot image system services. The upside is that PFS no longer
needs to be linked with libc.

The conversion was never properly implemented for asynchronous
character drivers, and got lost during the removal of the
synchronous character protocol.

The remapping from /dev/tty to the real controlling terminal in the
device code was confusing the select code. The latter is now aware
of this case and should handle it properly, at the cost of one extra
field in the filp structure.
There is a nasty, hopefully sufficiently rare case of /dev/tty being
kept open while controlling terminals are changing, that we are still
not handling. Doing so would require more than just a few changes,
but the code should at least detect and cleanly fail on this case.
Test77 now has a basic test set for selecting on /dev/tty.

This concerns all services, a.k.a drivers, filesystem drivers, network
(inet, lwip, uds) servers, and the system servers.
