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

The stat.st_ino field must always be filled with the inode number
given as part of the fdr_stat request anyway, so libfsdriver can
simply fill in the number and allow the file system not to bother.

Previously, services would obtain the user ID of "service" through
getpwnam(3). While this approach is conceptually better, it also
imposes linking against libc which in turn causes problems with
printf(3), which already led to PFS no longer dropping privileges at
all. For now, we hardcode SERVICE_UID and use that instead.
In the future, two changes should allow removal of SERVICE_UID again:
- "service edit" should cause RS to request that a service (such as
PFS) drop privileges through SEF, using the user ID resolved by
service(8), or something similar;
- a future devfs should make it possible for inet to start without
root privileges altogether.

- remove the buffer pool, inode bitmap, and inode hash table, and
simplify the code accordingly;
- use theoretically slightly more optimal buffer management;
- put the entire source in one file, instead of having many files
with one or two functions each;
- convert the code to KNF style.

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.

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