Changed all K&R style functions to ANSI-style declarations within the
kernel directory. The code compiles and aparently works for i386. For
arm my toolchain does not work, but I have changed the code with great
care. Also, the make command fails for the test suite. Therefore, I
strongly recommand to review the code with care.
Edited by David van Moolenbroek to convert really all K&R functions.

The current value was both wrong (counting spawned kernel signals
rather than delivered user signals) and returned for the calling
process even if the request was for the process's children.
For now we are better off not populating this field at all.

If an asynchronous message is delivered during an ipc_receive(2) call,
but a failure occurred while copying out the status to the sending
process, then the receiving process would be left in an inconsistent
state, leading to a kernel crash shortly after.
For now, we fix this by altogether ignoring errors while copying out
the status field to the sending process. While this resolves the
kernel crash, it is hardly ideal, since it will likely cause the same
message to be delivered repeatedly. It would be better to disable
asynchronous communication from the sender process altogether, but this
solution requires more changes and thus more testing.
