This patch enables basic use cases of the POSIX 'alarm' function, which
schedules the delivery of a SIGALRM signal after a specified amount of
seconds.

The original use cases of the loader have long been covered by the
dynamic init. The only substantial client of the loader remained to be
the qpluginwidget. However, the qpluginwidget was supported only by the
Arora web browser. But the blending of plugins with websites ultimately
remained a tech demo, and Arora has been replaced by Falkon.

of the sleep_states report can determine, when the operation is finished.

For pbxa9, Qemu is started with only 256 MiB for foc but with 768 MiB
for base-hw. By reducing the RAM quota for all start nodes within the
remote scenario, each component gets enough RAM quota to breathe.
Such messages can occur by chance when killing 'echo' while the program
blocks in an IPC call. It gets killed nevertheless. So the message does
not hint at a failure of the test.
The dynamic buffer allocation increases the RAM demand slightly beyond
1M on seL4. Use 2M, as is already the default in pkg/terminal_crosslink.

Replace the USB session API by one that provides a devices ROM only,
which contains information about all USB devices available for this client,
as well as methods to acquire and release a single device.
The acquisition of an USB device returns the capability to a device session
that includes a packet stream buffer to communicate control transfers
in between the client and the USB host controller driver. Moreover,
additional methods to acquire and release an USB interface can be used.
The acquisition of an USB interface returns the capability to an interface
session that includes a packet stream buffer to communicate either
bulk, interrupt, or isochronous transfers in between the client and the
USB host controller driver.
This commit implements the API changes in behalf of the Genode C API's
USB server and client side. Addtionally, it provides Usb::Device,
Usb::Interface, and Usb::Endpoint utilities that can be used by native
C++ clients to use the new API and hide the sophisticated packet stream API.
The adaptations necessary target the following areas:
* lx_emul layer for USB host and client side
* Linux USB host controller driver port for PC
* Linux USB client ports: usb_hid_drv and usb_net_drv, additionally
reduce the Linux tasks used inside these drivers
* Native usb_block_drv
* black_hole component
* Port of libusb, including smartcard and usb_webcam driver depending on it
* Port of Qemu XHCI model library, including vbox5 & vbox6 depending on it
* Adapt all run-scripts and drivers_interactive recipes to work
with the new policy rules of the USB host controller driver

This patch changes the unlink operation of the ram fs to defer the
destruction of a file until it is no longer referenced by any VFS handle.
When unlinked, the file no longer appears in the directory. But it can
still be opened and accessed.
With this change, a parent process of a Unix-like subsystem becomes able
to pass the content of an unlinked file to a forked child process. This
mechanism is required when using the 'exec' command in Tcl scripts.
Another use case is the 'tmpfile()' function.
Fixes#3577
This commit adds a new configuration option, `dst_addr` to the
'sntp_client' that accepts either an IP address or a DNS hostname. If a
DNS hostname is provided, the 'sntp_client' will resolve the IP address
before each SNTP request. The 'dst_ip' configuration option is
deprecated but kept for compatibility until 'dst_addr' is fully adopted.

Internally libyuv uses malloc & free for short time dynamic memory
allocation during image transformation. The converted images are
such large, that the Libc allocator will create and destroy new Genode
dataspace per image. In time sensitive code paths, the overhead can be
noticeable by the caller of the image transformation.
The patch adds the option to register callbacks in the libyuv library to
implement the image allocation by users of the library. They may implement
caching strategies to avoid the overhead, e.g. as seen with qemu-usb and
the webcam model.
Dynamically loading the `compat-libc` breaks `fork(2)` on Genode.
Switch `compat-libc` to a special api package that provides a source
file for statically linking the library, analogous to the `blit`
package. This also requires a quirk in Goa but should prevent breaking
`fork()` and removes the runtime and archive dependencies for Rust
packages using `compat-libc`.

Implement FBSD_1.0 versions of libc functions ('stat', 'fstat'). The
functions are versioned with @FBSD_1.0, and therefore, will not clash
with libc during linking. However, to be called by our dynamic linker,
the library must be before libc in the NEEDED section of the binary
using it. This requires the lib to be in front of libc in the LIBS
variable. The library currently will call libc 'stat' and 'fstat' by
looking up the symbols via 'dlsym'.
