Implement message queues support for Minix.
Pending tasks:
Blocking or non blocking for send receive?
Sort by priority and time?
Test codes?
Bug fixes?
- the userland call is now made to PM only, and PM relays the call to
other servers as appropriate; this is an ABI change that will
ultimately allow us to add proper support for wait3() and the like;
for the moment there is backward compatibility;
- the getrusage-specific kernel subcall has been removed, as it
provided only redundant functionality, and did not provide the means
to be extended correctly in the future - namely, allowing the kernel
to return different values depending on whether resource usage of
the caller (self) or its children was requested;
- VM is now told whether resource usage of the caller (self) or its
children is requested, and it refrains from filling in wrong values
for information it does not have;
- VM now uses the correct unit for the ru_maxrss values;
- VFS is cut out of the loop entirely, since it does not provide any
values at the moment; a comment explains how it should be readded.

Due to changed VM internals, more elaborate preparation is required
before a live update with multiple components including VM can take
place. This patch adds the essential preparation infrastructure to
VM and adapts RS to make use of it. As a side effect, it is no
longer necessary to supply RS as the last component (if at all)
during the set-up of a multicomponent live update operation.

The entire infrastructure relied on an ACK feature, and as such, it
has been broken for years now, with no easy way to repair it.
