Each /proc/service entry must have a unique label. With cloning,
multiple RS services may have the same label. Since we are not
actually interested in inactive services (for now), eliminate those
entries, leaving only the active service which will then indeed have
a unique label in the list. This resolves a procfs crash.

Previously, procfs would retrieve the rproc and rprocpub tables from
RS in two separate calls. This allowed for a race condition where the
tables could change in between the calls, resulting in a panic in
procfs under certain circumstances. RS now implements a new method
for getsysinfo that allows the retrieval of both tables at once.

This patch adds support for Unix98 pseudo terminals, that is,
posix_openpt(3), grantpt(3), unlockpt(3), /dev/ptmx, and /dev/pts/.
The latter is implemented with a new pseudo file system, PTYFS.
In effect, this patch adds secure support for unprivileged pseudo
terminal allocation, allowing programs such as tmux(1) to be used by
non-root users as well. Test77 has been extended with new tests, and
no longer needs to run as root.
The new functionality is optional. To revert to the old behavior,
remove the "ptyfs" entry from /etc/fstab.
Technical nodes:
o The reason for not implementing the NetBSD /dev/ptm approach is that
implementing the corresponding ioctl (TIOCPTMGET) would require
adding a number of extremely hairy exceptions to VFS, including the
PTY driver having to create new file descriptors for its own device
nodes.
o PTYFS is required for Unix98 PTYs in order to avoid that the PTY
driver has to be aware of old-style PTY naming schemes and even has
to call chmod(2) on a disk-backed file system. PTY cannot be its
own PTYFS since a character driver may currently not also be a file
system. However, PTYFS may be subsumed into a DEVFS in the future.
o The Unix98 PTY behavior differs somewhat from NetBSD's, in that
slave nodes are created on ptyfs only upon the first call to
grantpt(3). This approach obviates the need to revoke access as
part of the grantpt(3) call.
o Shutting down PTY may leave slave nodes on PTYFS, but once PTY is
restarted, these leftover slave nodes will be removed before they
create a security risk. Unmounting PTYFS will make existing PTY
slaves permanently unavailable, and absence of PTYFS will block
allocation of new Unix98 PTYs until PTYFS is (re)mounted.

- Expose in procfs the service status and supported recovery policies.
- This adds a test (testrelpol.sh) to exercise the restart policies of
the system services and drivers.
NOTE:
The policy support information is temporarily hardcoded in ProcFS, but
this has to be replaced by properly retrieving this information from
RS, which should in turn be setup on a per service basis, at
initialization time.

This directory is filled dynamically with regular files, one for each
service that RS knows about, named after its label. Its contents are
still subject to (heavy) change, but currently expose the service's
endpoint and number of restarts so far.
