David van Moolenbroek 728b0e5b34 VFS: suspend threads for live update
- do not allow live update for request and protocol free states if
  there are any worker threads that have pending or active work;
- destroy all worker threads before such live updates and recreate
  them afterwards, because transferring (the contents of) the
  thread stacks is not an option at this time;
- recreate worker threads in the new instance only if they were
  shut down before the state transfer, by letting RS provide the
  original preparation state as initialization information.

David van Moolenbroek 56ac45c10b VFS: check X bit, not R bit, opening executables
For dynamically linked executables, the interpreter is passed a
file descriptor of the binary being executed.  To this end, VFS
opens the target executable, but opening the file fails if it is
not readable, even when it is executable.  With this patch, when
opening the executable, it verifies the X bit rather than the R
bit on the file, thus allowing the execution of dynamically
linked binaries that are executable but not readable.

Add test86 to verify correctness.

David van Moolenbroek 7eb698ea4a VFS: during initial mount, receive but block work
For VFS, initialization is a special case for processing work: PFS
and the ramdisk MFS must be fully mounted before VFS can process any
other requests, in particular from init(8). This case was handled by
receiving reply messages only from the FS service being mounted, but
this effectively disallowed PFS from calling setuid(2) at startup.

This patch lets VFS receive all messages during the mounting process,
but defer processing any new requests. As a result, the FS services
have a bit more freedom in what they can do during startup.

David van Moolenbroek 27d0ecdb62 VFS: unbreak select on /dev/tty
The remapping from /dev/tty to the real controlling terminal in the
device code was confusing the select code.  The latter is now aware
of this case and should handle it properly, at the cost of one extra
field in the filp structure.

There is a nasty, hopefully sufficiently rare case of /dev/tty being
kept open while controlling terminals are changing, that we are still
not handling.  Doing so would require more than just a few changes,
but the code should at least detect and cleanly fail on this case.

Test77 now has a basic test set for selecting on /dev/tty.
