a360452a10 base: remove platform.mk and syscall.mk
The purpose of those libraries is now covered by the kernel-specific
syscall-<kernel> libraries.

4da52517c1 Simpify startup of dynamically linked binaries
This patch removes the component_entry_point library, which used to
proved a hook for the libc to intercept the call of the
'Component::construct' function. The mechansim has several shortcomings
(see the discussion in the associated issue) and was complex. So we
eventually discarded the approach in favor of the explicit handling of
the startup.

A regular Genode component provides a 'Component::construct' function,
which is determined by the dynamic linker via a symbol lookup.
For the time being, the dynamic linker falls back to looking up a 'main'
function if no 'Component::construct' function could be found.

The libc provides an implementation of 'Component::construct', which
sets up the libc's task handling and finally call the function
'Libc::Component::construct' from the context of the appllication task.
This function is expected to be provided by the libc-using application.
Consequently, Genode components that use the libc have to implement the
'Libc::Component::construct' function.

The new 'posix' library provides an implementation of
'Libc::Component::construct' that calls a main function. Hence, POSIX
programs that merely use the POSIX API merely have to add 'posix' to the
'LIBS' declaration in their 'target.mk' file. Their execution starts at
'main'.

051e84c4b4 Move server API concept to base framework
This commit introduces the new `Component` interface in the form of the
headers base/component.h and base/entrypoint.h. The os/server.h API
has become merely a compatibilty wrapper and will eventually be removed.
The same holds true for os/signal_rpc_dispatcher.h. The mechanism has
moved to base/signal.h and is now called 'Signal_handler'.

Since the patch shuffles headers around, please do a 'make clean' in the
build directory.

e6729316ff base: uniform base-internal header structure
This patch establishes a common organization of header files
internal to the base framework. The internal headers are located at
'<repository>/src/include/base/internal/'. This structure has been
choosen to make the nature of those headers immediately clear when
included:

  #include <base/internal/lock_helper.h>

ed52d5a211 Introduce 'spec' subdirectories to outline aspects
Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline
within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories
at the corresponding levels, e.g.:

  repos/base/include/spec
  repos/base/mk/spec
  repos/base/lib/mk/spec
  repos/base/src/core/spec
  ...

Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was
used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are
now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the
kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform'
directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.

ca971bbfd8 Move repositories to 'repos/' subdirectory
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.
