Due to rounding in the timeout calculation it may happen that the timeout
stored in ms becomes 0, but actually some time (us or ns) are left to wait.
With threads on various priorities (vbox) this may end up in endless loops.

To select a different keyboard layout than the default 'en_us', override the
'language_chargen' function in your run script (after including
qt5_common.inc):
proc language_chargen { } { return "de" }
where "de" refers to the character map file
'repos/os/src/server/input_filter/de.chargen'
Issue #2264
It seems that our buildbot has a problem with the TCL command 'string
cat'. In most cases it is not necessary anyway as we can use the ""
enclosure instead. It unfolds inline procedure calls and variables
automatically. We don't want to use "" only in cases where the literal
shall contain many " characters itself as it is the case for XML
configs. Then we use the 'append' command and a helper variable instead.
Ref #2193
If 'close' does not call 'unlink' like 'shutdown', the Lxip_socket_dir
never gets destroyed and thus the socket server leaks resources like
RAM and ports.
Ref #2285
Our 'shutdown' implementation handles only the case that 'how' is 'RDWR'.
Thus, print an error and continue if a user calls it with another value.

If 'Libc::Kernel::resume:all()' is called from a non-main thread, send a
signal to unblock the main thread from 'wait_and_dispatch_one_signal()'.
Fixes#2283
The 'server_ip' and 'server_port' attributes for 'lxip/udp_client' and
'lwip/http_clnt' as well as the 'port' attribute for 'lxip/udp_echo' and
'lwip/http_srv_static' are not directly libc-related so they should not
live in the libc tag but in the config tag of the component.

This commit includes changes to the Nic::Session_component interface.
We now pass the entire env to the component instead of only ram, rm and
the ep because we need the env to open connections from within the
Session_component implemenation. So far only the cadence_gem driver
needs this, though.
Issue #2280.
Libc components cannot use regular calls to select() as this may suspend
their execution. In this case incoming RPCs will be deferred until
select() returns and the component returns to the entrypoint dispatch
loop. The Libc::Signal_handler solves this problem with a its select()
that either returns the currently ready file descriptors immediately or
calls the registered handler function during libc resume.
Now, the libc kernel supports to execute application code from all RPC
functions not only Component::construct(). This is enabled by the
Libc::with_libc() scope function.
This commit extends an easy-to-use mechanism to allow Genode component
code to enter/leave the libc application context. This is needed
whenever low-level component code (like signal handlers or RPC
functions) need to interact with potentially blocking libc I/O
functions.
Please note that this commit contains the API-level design only. The
actual context switching code 'execute_in_application_context' is
missing.
The socket file system can be configured in the "socket" attribute of
the libc config node like follows.
<vfs> <dir name="socket"> <fs/> </dir> </vfs>
<libc ... socket="/socket"/>
This configures the socket file system libc backend to access files in
"/socket" for socket operations.
