fcd62729d4 NOVA: tunnel thread start parameters via state()
The cpu_session interface fails to be virtualized by gdb_monitor because
platform-nova uses an extended nova_cpu_session interface.

The problem was that threads have been created directly at core without
knowledge of gdb_monitor. This lead to the situation that gdb_monitor didn't
know of all threads to be debugged.

Tunnel the additional parameters required on base-nova through the state()
call of the cpu_session interface before the thread actual is started.

4155585267 NOVA: Adjust native_capability type
It now can hold a right bit used during IPC to demote rights of the to be
transfered capability.

The local_name field in the native_capability type is not needed anymore
in NOVA. Simplify the class, remove it from constructors and adapt all
invocations in base-nova.

Unfortunately local_name in struct Raw is still used in generic base code
(process.cc, reload_parent_cap.cc), however has no effect in base-nova.

1d6a00f01a Cleanup: cap allocation
Allocate exc_pt_sel inside Thread_base object
instead of pager object, since it is a thread
specific characteristic.

Same for freeing of the thread capabilities:
- ec, sc, rs, exc_pt_sel is thread specific
and has nothing to do in server nor pager object.

4534d656a8 NOVA: Improve stability of process destruction
The UTCB of the thread cleaning up thread objects has been unmapped.
However the UTCB of the destroyed thread must be unmapped.

Objects must explicitly be made unreachable before cleaning up. The
server and pager objects must be unreachable before they can be freed.
Both object types are threads. Revoking the thread(EC) cap on NOVA
doesn't mean that the thread stops executing. All portals pointing to a
thread are still reachable by clients even if the last EC cap is gone in
user land. So it must be taken care that no portals are pointing anymore
to a thread when the associated objects are getting destroyed. This
commit handles this.

Additionally, even if the last portal is gone - there can be still an
ongoing request handled by such server/pager object/threads. For each
such object an additional portal is created. This object is called
'cleanup portal' and is only local to the object. After all portals are
revoked the cleanup portal is called. When the call returns we know that
nobody is anymore handled by the object since all remotely available
portals are gone.

Fixes #20
