f6aabfe233 Sculpt: prevent nitpicker's resize warnings
This patch increases the RAM quota of the top-level nitpicker instance
to 12 MiB so that resize operations can be buffered for resolutions up
to 2560x1080. It mutes diagnostic messages of the form "Warning: Gui
(...) not enough RAM to preserve buffer content during resize" and
improves the window-resize experience.

96cc660f95 sculpt: system reset via PS/2 and ACPI
This patch enables sculpt to utilize the CPU reset mechanism via the
PS/2 controller as well as the information provided via the ACPI FADT
information. Whenever the /config/system file is changed to <system
state="reset"/>, both mechanisms are triggered.

Supporting both mechanisms is useful because the PS/2-based reset does
not work reliably on modern machines. The PS/2-based reset is useful in
the case when the FADT reset information refers to the PS/2 command
port. In this case, the platform driver is unable to access this port
because it is already handed out to the PS/2 driver. In this case, the
PS/2 driver kicks in.

ca5522d4d9 sculpt: move chargen files to config/keyboard/
The addition of further keyboard layouts would otherwise pollute the
config/ directory too much.

Caution: When updating Sculpt OS, don't reuse your existing
config/event_filter file unmodified! You need to replace the chargen
includes, pointing to the new location, e.g.,

  <include rom="en_us.chargen"/>
  <include rom="special.chargen"/>

must be changed to

  <include rom="keyboard/en_us"/>
  <include rom="keyboard/special"/>

36ef41626a sculpt: keyboard-layout selection dialog
This patch extends the settings dialog with the ability to select the
keyboard layout between the options that are included in the sculpt
image. The manual configuration is of course still possible by editing
the /config/event_filter directly.

If both the fonts configuration and the event-filter configuration are
managed manually, the settings button and window are not displayed.

8f1db47c26 sculpt: screen capturing and event injection
This patch adds session-routing options to connect components to the
capture/event interfaces of the global nitpicker GUI server or the
leitzentrale GUI server. It thereby enables the implementation of screen
capturing components, remote management tools, or virtual keyboards.

Since those services are very powerful, they are subsumed under the
"hardware" category of the component graph as opposed to the GUI
category, which guarantees the separation of clients.

8ecc258d3f sculpt: introduce runtime priorities
This patch adds 4 priority levels to the runtime subsystem. The highest
priority is used for components that are critical for the operation of
Sculpt, in particular the Leitzentrale GUI. All regularly deployed
components are assigned the lowest priority by default.

With priorities available in the runtime subsystem, this patch flattens
the priority levels at the top-level init to only two levels and
overlays the priority bands of the drivers, leitzentrale, and runtime
subsystems into one priority band. This has three benenfits:

- This change prevents the starvation of the Leitzentrale GUI from a
  spinning high-priority driver (issue #3997).

- The change will also ease the hosting of latency-critical components
  in the runtime subsystem that are prioritized higher than regular
  components, the storage stack, and the network stack.

- The Leitzentrale GUI remains always perfectly responsive regardless
  of the workloads deployed from packages. In the previous version,
  the runtime graph was sometimes stuttering on high system load.

06edc0d52b base: extend PD session with managing_system call
Introduce the managing_system privilege for components like the
platform_driver to allow it to call system management functionality
that is reserved by kernel or special firmware, e.g., ARM Trusted Firmware.

The former RAM resource configuration attribute `constrain_phys`,
which enabled to constrain the region of physical RAM to be used,
gets replaced by the new, broader managing_system configuration
attribute of a `start` node. It gets enforced by the sandbox library.

a59b69758b sculpt: remove deferred GUI initialization
The sculpt manager used to defer the initialization of the GUI until
nitpicker's first display report became ready. This way, Sculpt was able
to run headlessly even if the framebuffer driver failed to start up.
Thanks to #3827, nitpicker no longer depends on a working framebuffer
driver. So the sculpt manager is safe to rely on nitpicker in any case,
simplifying the code.

9662d89cfb Replace input filter with event filter
This commit applies the transition from the "Input" session to the "Event"
session to the event-filtering mechansim. The functionality of the
input_filter is now provided by the event_filter. The event filter
requests only one "Event" session as destination for the filter result,
which is usually routed to the nitpicker GUI server. It provides an
"Event" service to which any number of event sources can connect.

The configuration of the filter chain remains almost the same. Only the
declaration of the <input> nodes is no longer needed. Instead, the
configuration must specify <policy> nodes, which define the mapping of
"Event" clients (event sources) to the inputs used in the filter chain.

The patch adjusts all uses of the nitpicker GUI server accordingly such
that the event filter reports events to nitpicker's event service
instead of having nitpicker request an "Input" session. This dissolves
the dependency of nitpicker from input drivers.

c81af531a3 Turn framebuffer drivers into capture clients
This patch replaces the use of the "Framebuffer" session interface by
the new "Capture" session interface in all framebuffer drivers. Thanks
to this change, those drivers have become mere clients of the nitpicker
GUI server now, and are no longer critical for the liveliness of the GUI
server.

The patch touches the following areas:

- The actual driver components. The new versions of all drivers have
  been tested on the respective hardware. Generally, the drivers
  have become simpler.

- The drivers_interactive packages for various boards. The drivers
  subsystem no longer provides a "Framebuffer" service but needs a
  valid route to the "Capture" service provided by nitpicker.

- The driver manager of Sculpt OS.

- This patch changes the role of the test-framebuffer component from a
  framebuffer client to a capture server so that drivers (capture clients)
  can be directly connected to the test component without the nitpicker
  server.

- Framebuffer driver no longer support the unbuffered mode.

- The fb_bench.run script is no longer very meaningful because it
  interplays solely with nitpicker, not with the driver directly.

- All run scripts for graphical scenarios and the related depot
  archives got adapted to the change.

cd244c2077 sculpt: don't install any index by default
When buiding the sculpt image, the sculpt.run script used to integrate
the current version of the index of the 'depot_user' into the boot
image. At runtime, when the Sculpt partition is selected for "use" this
index - along with the 'pubkey' and 'download' files of the known
depot users - is written to the Sculpt partition.

This has the undesirable effect that a later version of the index
(published some time after the sculpt image was created) would always be
overwritten by the outdated index shipped with the boot image.

The built-in default index was actually a stop-gap solution needed
during the development of Sculpt CE, introduced when the downloading of
index files was not yet supported. Now, with the working download
mechanism, it is no longer needed. Hence, this patch removes the default
index from the sculpt image.

005d6d6b35 sculpt: trim config/deploy default
The commented-out <start> nodes are prone to become inconsistent with
the launchers. Hence, this patch removes them. Start nodes should better
be added by the '+' menu, at least initially.

Furthermore, the patch directs requests for the vfs.lib.so ROM to core's
ROM service to reduce the impact of low-level ABI changes (i.e., the
packet-stream layout) on existing vfs/libc-based packages.
