The current values were both inaccurate (especially for dynamically
linked executables) and using the wrong unit (bytes, instead of
kilobytes times ticks-of-execution). For now we are better off not
populating these fields at all.

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.

There is no reason to keep these tightly coupled data structures
separate. Moreover, there is no reason to have a union of file
descriptor and file pointer, since the second can be derived from
the first. The result are somewhat cleaner VFS internals.

- synchronize request type with ioctl by making it unsigned long;
- unbreak VFS requests, as they were being sent to PM;
- use proper ioctl direction flags (and new numbers) for requests;
- remove some needless header inclusions;
- svrctl is in libc, make its message name reflect this;
- keep backward compatibility: svrctl is part of the userland ABI.

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.
