Do not link base and core libraries into on large relocatable .o file,
which is linked later to core - causing long link times. Create an
independent library archive out of the base and core libraries that can
be linked faster.
issue #4027
This patch simplifies the use of ccache with the build system. Up until
now, each developer had to set up the ccache hooks manually, adjust the
PATH variable, and customize the etc/tools.conf in each build directory.
With the patch, ccache can be enabled by un-commenting a single line in
the etc/build.conf file.
Fixes#4004
* Remove SPEC declarations from mk/spec
* Remove all board-specific REQUIRE declaratiions left
* Replace [have_spec <board>] run-script declarations with have_board where necessary
* Remove addition of BOARD variable to SPECS in toplevel Makefile
* Move board-specific directories in base-hw out of specs
Adjust the base-* platforms to acknowledge new thread location solely if
migration is supported and succeeded. Otherwise the wrong thread
locations are observed via the trace session and utilization time calculation
get wrong.
Issue #3842
- base/cancelable_lock.h becomes base/lock.h
- all members become private within base/lock.h
- solely Mutex and Blockade are friends to use base/lock.h
Fixes#3819
This patch largely reverts the commit "base: lay groundwork for
base-linux caps change" because the use of 'epoll' instead of 'select'
alleviated the need to allocate large FD sets, which motivated the
introduction of the 'Native_context' hook.

The topics are either covered by the Genode Founations book for by our
tools, in particular the integration of the prepare_port mechanism with
the run tool.
The mutex class is more restrictive in usage compared to
Genode::Lock.
- At initialiation time it is ever unlocked.
- No thread is permitted to lock twice. Warn about it
in case it happens.
- Only the lock onwer is permitted to unlock the mutex.
Warn about it and don't unlock the mutex in case it happens.
