Please note that this information is for use by system services only!
The clock facility is not ready to be used directly by userland, and
thus, this kernel page extension is NOT part of the userland ABI.
For service programmers' convenience, change the prototype of the
getticks(3) to return the uptime clock value directly, since the call
can no longer fail.
Correct the sys_times(2) reply message to use the right field type
for the boot time.
Restructure the kernel internals a bit so as to have all the clock
stuff closer together.

- ping(1) triggers warnings about unimplemented exceptions for select;
even if there could be a useful implementation (which is doubtful),
the warnings are not helping anyone right now;
- the clock_t data type has changed.

This resolves a problem with ioctl(NIOCGETHSTAT) hanging forever
as identified by Erik van der Kouwe, and possibly many other corner
cases.

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.

Previously, a TCP option length of zero would cause inet to end up
in an infinite loop.
This resolves#7, reported by Alejandro Hernandez.

- 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.

. get rid of includes in libcompat_minix:
. move configfile.h to minix/include/
. all others are unneeded as they point to other files
. merge the .c files with libc

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