By adding the `irq_type` argument, one can explicitly specify whether to
use LEGACY, MSI or MSI-X interrupts. We formerly used the
`device_phys_config` to implicitly select MSI, however, with the
addition of IOMMU support to the platform driver there is at least one
instance where we need an MSI for a non-PCI device.
Yet, by adding another session argument to the Irq session, we exceed
the character limit for session args. Since not all arguments are
relevant for LEGACY interrupts resp. MSI, we can split the Irq_connection
constructor to handle the two cases separately and omit unneeded
arguments.
genodelabs/genode#5002
Besides adapting the components to the use of base/log.h, the patch
cleans up a few base headers, i.e., it removes unused includes from
root/component.h, specifically base/heap.h and
ram_session/ram_session.h. Hence, components that relied on the implicit
inclusion of those headers have to manually include those headers now.
While adjusting the log messages, I repeatedly stumbled over the problem
that printing char * arguments is ambiguous. It is unclear whether to
print the argument as pointer or null-terminated string. To overcome
this problem, the patch introduces a new type 'Cstring' that allows the
caller to express that the argument should be handled as null-terminated
string. As a nice side effect, with this type in place, the optional len
argument of the 'String' class could be removed. Instead of supplying a
pair of (char const *, size_t), the constructor accepts a 'Cstring'.
This, in turn, clears the way let the 'String' constructor use the new
output mechanism to assemble a string from multiple arguments (and
thereby getting rid of snprintf within Genode in the near future).
To enforce the explicit resolution of the char * ambiguity, the 'char *'
overload of the 'print' function is marked as deleted.

This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
