This patch tightens the coupling of the 'Platform_thread' objects
with their corresponding 'Platform_pd' objects by specifying the
'Platform_pd' as constructor argument, keeping the relationship
as a reference (instead of a pointer), and constraining the
lifetime of 'Platform_pd' objects to the lifetime of the PD.
It thereby clears the way to simplify the thread creation since all
PD-related information (like quota budgets) are now known at the
construction time of the 'Platform_thread'.
The return value of 'Platform_thread::start' has been removed because it
is not evaluated by 'Cpu_thread_component'.

- Remove exceptions
- Use 'Attr' struct for attach arguments
- Let 'attach' return 'Range' instead of 'Local_addr'
- Renamed 'Region_map::State' to 'Region_map::Fault'

The 'Thread_creation_failed' error is now reflected as
'Thread::Start_result' return value. This change also removes the
use of 'Invalid_thread' within core as this exception is an alias
of Cpu_session::Thread_creation_failed.
Issue #5245
This patch removes the exception formerly thrown by 'Cpu_thread::state'
and turns the 'Thread_state' structure into a plain compound type w/o a
constructor.

Remove the "excellent" idea to re-open /dev/stdout etc. for redirection as
cmake uses open(O_TRUNC) and, thus, truncates log output of outer
redirections.
By adding the `irq_type` argument, one can explicitly specify whether to
use LEGACY, MSI or MSI-X interrupts. We formerly used the
`device_phys_config` to implicitly select MSI, however, with the
addition of IOMMU support to the platform driver there is at least one
instance where we need an MSI for a non-PCI device.
Yet, by adding another session argument to the Irq session, we exceed
the character limit for session args. Since not all arguments are
relevant for LEGACY interrupts resp. MSI, we can split the Irq_connection
constructor to handle the two cases separately and omit unneeded
arguments.

By splitting the 'init_capability_slab()' implementation to a separate
compilation unit 'capability_slab.cc', base-hw no longer needs a
customized version of 'lib/base/platform.cc'.
Related to issue #4784
This patch replaces the internal use 'env_deprecated()' from the
implementation of the thread API in the base library. It also
replaces the global accessor 'main_thread_cap' by the explicit
propagation of the main-thread's capability to the single point of
use via a new 'init_thread_bootstap' function.
Issue #4784
The change "core: allow offset-attached managed dataspaces" addressed a
corner case of the use of nested region maps. Apparently, this change
negatively affects other scenarios (tool_chain_auto).
In order to confidently cover all the differnt situations, this patch
reworks the page-fault resolution code for improved clarity and safety,
by introducing dedicated result types, reducing the use of basic types,
choosing expressive names, and fostering constness.
It also introduces a number of 'print' hooks that greatly ease manual
instrumentation and streamlines the error messages printed by core.
Those messages no longer appear when a user-level page-fault handler
is reistered for the faulted-at region map. So the monitor component
produces less noise on the attempt to dump non-existing memory.

The new 'init_platform' function performs the platform-specific
component-local low-level initialization. It allows for the
differentiation between core and regular components as well as
kernel-dependent peculiarities.
This patch introduces a consistent notion of a 'Platform'. Within core,
the 'Platform' contains the kernel-specific initialization. Outside
core, the platform sets up the interplay with the parent component. In
all cases, the platform is constructed while running on the initial
stack.
