David van Moolenbroek 8fea5ab8bd Kernel: make SIGKMESS target process list dynamic
The set of processes to which a SIGKMESS signal is sent whenever new
diagnostics messages are added to the kernel's message buffer, is now
no longer hardcoded. Instead, processes can (un)register themselves
to receive such notifications, by means of sys_diagctl().

/* A server must occasionally print some message. It uses a simple version of
* printf() found in the system lib that calls kputc() to output characters.
* Printing is done with a call to the kernel, and not by going through FS.
*
* This routine can only be used by servers and device drivers. The kernel
* must define its own kputc(). Note that the log driver also defines its own
* kputc() to directly call the TTY instead of going through this library.
