41eaff2cc6 Fiasco.OC: Re-use existing capability selectors
This is an interim fix for issue #112. This patch extends the
'Capability_allocator' class with the ability to register the global
ID of a Genode capability so that the ID gets associated with a
process-local kernel capability. Whenever a Genode capability gets
unmarshalled from an IPC message, the capability-allocator is asked,
with the global ID as key, whether the kernel-cap already exists.
This significantly reduces the waste of kernel-capability slots.

To circumvent problems of having one and the same ID for different kernel
objects, the following problems had to be solved:
* Replace pseudo IDs with unique ones from core's badge allocator
* When freeing a session object, free the global ID _after_ unmapping
  the kernel object, otherwise the global ID might get re-used in some
  process and the registry will find a valid but wrong capability
  for the ID

Because core aggregates all capabilities of all different processes, its
capability registry needs much more memory compared to a regular process.
By parametrizing capability allocators differently for core and non-core
processes, the global memory overhead for capability registries is kept
at a reasonable level.

f3fcb5f56f Facility for reinitializing Platform_env
The new function 'Platform_env::reload_parent_cap' triggers a reload
of the parent capability and its respective resources. It is needed
during the bootstrap of a new process forked from an existing Noux
process.

05b0927302 Fix subversion usage of 'make prepare' in base-foc
It turns out that recent subversion clients are more nitpicking with respect to
the usage of 'svn update'. Formerly it was ok to just checkout a toplevel
directory of  some repository, and then update that parts in the repo that are
needed. This is used in the preparation makefile in 'base-foc' to just checkout
a small part of the L4Re software stack. Recent clients complain about using
update with some remote target, so we've to use 'checkout' here too.
This commit fixes #84.
