3f6ff39d76 os: improved label matching
This patch unifies the mechanism of selecting server-side policies and
taking session-routing decisions based on session labels. In both cases,
XML nodes are scored against session labels. The score depends on the
XML attributes 'label' (exact match), 'label_prefix', and
'label_suffix'.

853378960c init: prevent division by zero
During the reconfiguration of init, the CPU-quota computation caused
init to produce a division-by-zero exception.

a528aa097a init: add 'label' criterion for session routing
This patch introduces a shortcut for conditional session routes of the
form '<if-arg key="label" value="..."/>'. With this change, the label
can be directly specified as 'label' attribute of an '<any-service>' or
a '<service>' node. The '<if-arg>' mechanism was not documented anyway
and I hope to be able to ultimately remove it.

0f052357ef init: propagate exit conditions of children
This patch extends the configuration concept of init with an additional
sub node for the <start> node:

<start name="noux">
  <exit propagate="yes"/>
  ...
</start>

If the 'propagate' attribute is set to "yes", the exit of the respective
child will appear to init's parent as the exit of the entire init
subsystem.

3c0517fe1f init: use binary name as ROM label
Init used to specify the unique child name as session label when
requesting the binary image of a dynamically linked child. The actual
module name was propagated as "filename" session argument. Since we want
to move towards the sole use of the session label, which can be taken
into account for the session routing, the module name should always be
the last part of a ROM session label.

4f88fe7bd0 init: fix label buffer size
This patch bases the size of the destination buffer in
'Init::Child_policy_redirect_rom_file' on the maximum label size
instead of the filename size. Otherwise, the use of a long configfile
name (i.e., "trace_subject_reporter.config") in combination with a long
child name ("trace_subject_reporter") would result in a truncated label
string.

c9272937e7 CPU session: apply quota via relative weightings
Physical CPU quota was previously given to a thread on construction only
by directly specifying a percentage of the quota of the according CPU
session. Now, a new thread is given a weighting that can be any value.
The physical counter-value of such a weighting depends on the weightings
of the other threads at the CPU session. Thus, the physical quota of all
threads of a CPU session must be updated when a weighting is added or
removed. This is each time the session creates or destroys a thread.

This commit also adapts the "cpu_quota" test in base-hw accordingly.

0fd53c7fe4 Extract numeric string arguments with the correct signedness
There are lots of places where a numeric argument of an argument string
gets extraced as signed long value and then assigned to an unsigned long
variable. If the value in the string was negative, it would not be
detected as invalid (and replaced by the default value), but become a
positive bogus value.

With this patch, numeric values which are supposed to be unsigned get
extracted with the 'ulong_value()' function, which returns the default
value for negative numbers.

8f9355b360 thread API & CPU session: accounting of CPU quota
In the init configuration one can configure the donation of CPU time via
'resource' tags that have the attribute 'name' set to "CPU" and the
attribute 'quantum' set to the percentage of CPU quota that init shall
donate. The pattern is the same as when donating RAM quota.

! <start name="test">
!   <resource name="CPU" quantum="75"/>
! </start>

This would cause init to try donating 75% of its CPU quota to the child
"test".  Init and core do not preserve CPU quota for their own
requirements by default as it is done with RAM quota.

The CPU quota that a process owns can be applied through the thread
constructor. The constructor has been enhanced by an argument that
indicates the percentage of the programs CPU quota that shall be granted
to the new thread. So 'Thread(33, "test")' would cause the backing CPU
session to try to grant 33% of the programs CPU quota to the thread
"test". By now, the CPU quota of a thread can't be altered after
construction. Constructing a thread with CPU quota 0 doesn't mean the
thread gets never scheduled but that the thread has no guaranty to receive
CPU time. Such threads have to live with excess CPU time.

Threads that already existed in the official repositories of Genode were
adapted in the way that they receive a quota of 0.

This commit also provides a run test 'cpu_quota' in base-hw (the only
kernel that applies the CPU-quota scheme currently). The test basically
runs three threads with different physical CPU quota. The threads simply
count for 30 seconds each and the test then checks wether the counter
values relate to the CPU-quota distribution.

e4c636b0a0 init: clamp priority values to valid range
This patch ensures that priority values passed as session arguments
are within the valid range of priorities. Without the clamping, a child
could specify a priority of a lower priority band than the one assigned
to the subsystem. Thanks to Johannes Schlatow for reporting this issue.
