Aditionally this removes all trailing whitespaces in pm server code
using: sed -i 's/[[:space:]]*$//' *.c

Now that there are services other than PM and VFS that implement
userland system calls directly, these services may need to know about
events related to user processes. In particular, signal delivery may
have to interrupt blocking system calls, and certain cleanup tasks may
have to be performed after a user process exits.
This patch aims to implement a generic, lasting solution for this
problem, by allowing services to subscribe to "signal delivered"
and/or "process exit" events from PM. PM publishes such events by
sending messages to its subscribed services, which must then reply an
acknowledgment message.
For now, only the two aforementioned events are implemented, and only
the IPC service makes use of the process event facility.
The new process event publish/subscribe system replaces the previous
VM notify-sig/watch-exit/query-exit system, which was unsound: 1) it
allowed subscription to events from individual processes, and suffered
from fundamental race conditions as a result; 2) it relied on "not too
many" processes making use of the IPC server functionality in order to
avoid loss of notifications. In addition, it had the "ipc" process
name hardcoded, did not distinguish between signal delivery and exits,
and added a roundtrip to VM for all events from all processes.

- 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 following services have been updated to support stateful restarts:
- Drivers: tty
- Filesystems: isofs, mfs, pfs, libvtreefs-based file servers
- System servers: tty, ds, pm, vfs, vm
