The former 'Genode::Timed_semaphore' mechanism is moved to the private
part of the two remaining users, namely dde_rump and the libc. Note
there are now two private copies of 'timed_semaphore.h'. This should be
regarded as an interim step until the use of this mechanism is removed
from both users.
This patch also cleans up the mechanism from legacy Genode API calls and
global side effects (alarm-thread singleton). The test/timed_semaphore
is now located at the libports repository as it now tests a mechanism of
the libc. The former timed_semaphore library is no more.
Fixes#3121
By now, rump would query its available RAM quota to determine the
memory limit minus some RAM reserved for Genode meta-data. This
does not work when the VFS rump plugin is used as the available
quota belongs to the VFS server. In this case the memlimit should
be set by specifing the RAM in the plugin's config, e.g.:
! <vfs>
! <rump fs="ext2fs" ram="64M" writeabl="yes"/>
! </vfs>
Fixes#2783.
