- move system calls for use by services from libminlib into libsys;
- move srv_fork(2) and srv_kill(2) from RS and into libsys;
- replace getprocnr(2) with sef_self(3);
- rename previous getnprocnr(2) to getprocnr(2);
- clean up getepinfo(2);
- change all libsys calls that used _syscall to use _taskcall, so as
to avoid going through errno to pass errors; this is already how
most calls work anyway, and many of the calls previously using
_syscall were already assumed to return the actual error;
- initialize request messages to zero, for future compatibility
(note that this does not include PCI calls, which are in need of a
much bigger overhaul, nor kernel calls);
- clean up more of dead DS code as a side effect.

This single function allows copying file descriptors from and to
processes, and closing a previously copied remote file descriptor.
This function replaces the five FD-related UDS backcalls. While it
limits the total number of in-flight file descriptors to OPEN_MAX,
this change greatly improves crash recovery support of UDS, since all
in-flight file descriptors will be closed instead of keeping them
open indefinitely (causing VFS to crash on system shutdown). With the
new copyfd call, UDS becomes simpler, and the concept of filps is no
longer exposed outside of VFS.
This patch also moves the checkperms(2) stub into libminlib, thus
fully abstracting away message details of VFS communication from UDS.

- sendmsg: the accumulation of multiple in-flight file descriptors was
already described in the comments; now the code actually does what
the comments say :) -- also, added robustness in case of a failure;
- recvmsg: only create a socket rights message if there are file
descriptors pending at all;
- recvmsg: copy back the control message length;
- recvmsg: use CMSG_SPACE instead of CMSG_LEN to compute sizes.
Not sure if all of this is now working according to specification,
but at least tmux seems to be happy with it.

- move VFS calls to a separate source file;
- solve a few subtle bugs, mostly in error handling;
- simplify debug reporting code;
- make a few definitions more independent;
- restyle to something closer to KNF.
