This patch enhances the audio driver with the option to operate as a
client of the record and play services instead of providing the audio-in
and audio-out services. The record/play mode can be enabled by setting
the 'record_play="yes"' config attribute.
The audio_in.run and audio_out.run scripts support the selection of the
mode via the 'use_record_play_sessions' hook function.
Issue #5097
The initial memory backend implementation was brought over from DDE
Linux and was geared towards use-cases where a high-performing
allocator is useful. In case of the audio driver this is overkill
and since no other driver that could benefit from such an
implementation was ported in the meantime rather use a simpler
implementation that keeps the overhead down.
Fixes#4946.
Instead of the generic name, call the PCI driver 'pci_audio_drv'.
This is preliminary clean-up work before introducing the USB audio
driver.

* Updating the run script was missed in commit "dde_bsd: remove
configration attributes".
* Decrease output and input volume to "more sane" levels.

Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
With the introducation of the Audio_in session interface it makes
sense to rename the current available audio drivers. At the moment
only the dde_bsd audio_drv supports Audio_out as well as Audio_in.
The Linux audio_drv only supports Audio_out (there is no demand for
Audio_in support currently) but is renamed nonetheless to make it
easiert to write generic run scripts.
Issue #1644.
