35a108b911 panic() cleanup.
this change
   - makes panic() variadic, doing full printf() formatting -
     no more NO_NUM, and no more separate printf() statements
     needed to print extra info (or something in hex) before panicing
   - unifies panic() - same panic() name and usage for everyone -
     vm, kernel and rest have different names/syntax currently
     in order to implement their own luxuries, but no longer
   - throws out the 1st argument, to make source less noisy.
     the panic() in syslib retrieves the server name from the kernel
     so it should be clear enough who is panicing; e.g.
         panic("sigaction failed: %d", errno);
     looks like:
         at_wini(73130): panic: sigaction failed: 0
         syslib:panic.c: stacktrace: 0x74dc 0x2025 0x100a
   - throws out report() - printf() is more convenient and powerful
   - harmonizes/fixes the use of panic() - there were a few places
     that used printf-style formatting (didn't work) and newlines
     (messes up the formatting) in panic()
   - throws out a few per-server panic() functions
   - cleans up a tie-in of tty with panic()

merging printf() and panic() statements to be done incrementally.

ca9280e097 - Fix dangling symlink regression
- Make open(2) more POSIX compliant
- Add a test case for dangling symlinks and open() syscall with O_CREAT and
  O_EXCL on a symlink.
- Update open(2) man page to reflect change.

958b25be50 - Introduce support for sticky bit.
- Revise VFS-FS protocol and update VFS/MFS/ISOFS accordingly.
- Clean up MFS by removing old, dead code (backwards compatibility is broken by
  the new VFS-FS protocol, anyway) and rewrite other parts. Also, make sure all
  functions have proper banners and prototypes.
- VFS should always provide a (syntactically) valid path to the FS; no need for
  the FS to do sanity checks when leaving/entering mount points.
- Fix several bugs in MFS:
  - Several path lookup bugs in MFS.
  - A link can be too big for the path buffer.
  - A mountpoint can become inaccessible when the creation of a new inode
    fails, because the inode already exists and is a mountpoint.
- Introduce support for supplemental groups.
- Add test 46 to test supplemental group functionality (and removed obsolete
  suppl. tests from test 2).
- Clean up VFS (not everything is done yet).
- ISOFS now opens device read-only. This makes the -r flag in the mount command
  unnecessary (but will still report to be mounted read-write).
- Introduce PipeFS. PipeFS is a new FS that handles all anonymous and
  named pipes. However, named pipes still reside on the (M)FS, as they are part
  of the file system on disk. To make this work VFS now has a concept of
  'mapped' inodes, which causes read, write, truncate and stat requests to be
  redirected to the mapped FS, and all other requests to the original FS.

f76d75a5ec Various VFS and MFS fixes to improve correctness, consistency and
POSIX compliance.

VFS changes:
* truncate() on a file system mounted read-only no longer panics MFS.
* ftruncate() and fcntl(F_FREESP) now check for write permission on
  the file descriptor instead of the file, write().
* utime(), chown() and fchown() now check for file system read-only
  status.

MFS changes:
* link() and rename() no longer return the internal EENTERMOUNT and
  ELEAVEMOUNT errors to the application as part of a check on the
  source path.
* rename() now treats EENTERMOUNT from the destination path check as
  an error, preventing file system corruption from renaming a normal
  directory to an existing mountpoint directory.
* mountpoints (mounted-on dirs) are hidden better during lookups:
  - if a lookup starts from a mountpoint, the first component has to
    be ".." (anything else being a VFS-FS protocol violation).
  - in that case, the permissions of the mountpoint are not checked.
  - in all other cases, visiting a mountpoint always results in
    EENTERMOUNT.
* a lookup on ".." from a mount root or chroot(2) root no longer
  succeeds if the caller does not have search permission on that
  directory.
* POSIX: getdents() now updates directory access times.
* POSIX: readlink() now returns partial results instead of ERANGE.

Miscellaneous changes:
* semaphore file handling bug (leading to hangs) fixed in test 32.

The VFS changes should now put the burden of checking for read-only
status of file systems entirely on VFS, and limit the access
permission checks that file systems have to perform, to checking
search permission on directories during lookups. From this point on,
any deviation from that spceification should be considered a bug.
Note that for legacy reasons, the root partition is assumed to be
mounted read-write.

0ac1aaccca Limited support for nested FS->VFS requests during VFS->FS call.
- Changed VFS-FS protocol to only store OK or negative error code in
  m_type field of reply messages.
- Changed VFS to treat nonzero positive replies from FS as requests.
- Added backwards compatibility to VFS and MFS.
No protection of global data structures is provided in VFS, so many
VFS calls cannot be made safely by FS servers during many FS calls.
Use with caution (or, preferably, not at all).
