24ec0d73b5 Clean up interface to PM and VFS
- introduce new call numbers, names, and field aliases;
- initialize request messages to zero for all ABI calls;
- format callnr.h in the same way as com.h;
- redo call tables in both servers;
- remove param.h namespace pollution in the servers;
- make brk(2) go to VM directly, rather than through PM;
- remove obsolete BRK, UTIME, and WAIT calls;
- clean up path copying routine in VFS;
- move remaining system calls from libminlib to libc;
- correct some errno-related mistakes in libc routines.

516fec97d9 libc: add clock_settime() system call.
This also adds the sys_settime() kernel call which allows for the adjusting
of the clock named realtime in the kernel. The existing sys_stime()
function is still needed for a separate job (setting the boottime). The
boottime is set in the readclock driver. The sys_settime() interface is
meant to be flexible and will support both clock_settime() and adjtime()
when adjtime() is implemented later.

settimeofday() was adjusted to use the clock_settime() interface.

One side note discovered during testing: uptime(1) (part of the last(1)),
uses wtmp to determine boottime (not Minix's times(2)). This leads `uptime`
to report odd results when you set the time to a time prior to boottime.
This isn't a new bug introduced by my changes. It's been there for a while.

e67fc5771d libc: add clock_getres()/clock_gettime() system calls.
In order to make it more clear that ticks should be used for timers
and realtime should be used for timestamps / displaying the date/time,
getuptime() was renamed to getticks() and getuptime2() was renamed to
getuptime().

Servers, drivers, libraries, tests, etc that use getuptime()/getuptime2()
have been updated. In instances where a realtime was calculated, the
calculation was changed to use realtime.

System calls clock_getres() and clock_gettime() were added to PM/libc.
