Revoke the right to set the portal id (aka label) when it is not needed
anymore. Otherwise everybody in the system having a mapping of the portal can
reset the label to something we don't expect.
Issue #667
In base-fiasco, base-foc and base-pistachio, physical memory gets mapped
1:1 to core virtual memory. When the 'Ram_session_component' allocates
physical memory for a client, it zeroes out the corresponding area in
core's virtual address space and then maps the area to the client. If this
area overlaps with core's virtual thread context area (usually at
0x40000000-0x4fffffff), the stack of one or more core threads can get
overwritten.
To avoid this problem, with this patch, the thread context area gets
removed from the physical RAM allocator on these platforms.
Fixes#660.
Without the patch the signal cap was ever transferred to the timer session
when a usleep/msleep was called, even when unneeded. On base-nova this
causes the allocation of new capability indexes which are not freed up.
So the timer service run quickly out of indexes and get out of order...

This happened when I killed one of the genode clients which was
tracked via an expception_handler. In this case the wait4 syscall
returned 0 and the for(;;) was looped eternally. This caused an
100% CPU utilization for the core binary.
Make 'context_area_virtual_base' platform configurable. On Arndale, we
need to move the context area to a location that does not interfere with
the address range of physical memory.
The new terminal_mux server is able to provide multiple terminal
sessions over one terminal-client session. The user can switch
between the different sessions using the keyboard shortcut C-y,
which brings up an ncurses-based menu.
This patch moves the further reusable parts of the terminal into public
header files. It also slightly tweaks the color table to give all colors
a similar brightness level.
