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.

By splitting the 'init_capability_slab()' implementation to a separate
compilation unit 'capability_slab.cc', base-hw no longer needs a
customized version of 'lib/base/platform.cc'.

This patch replaces the internal use 'env_deprecated()' from the
implementation of the thread API in the base library. It also
replaces the global accessor 'main_thread_cap' by the explicit
propagation of the main-thread's capability to the single point of
use via a new 'init_thread_bootstap' function.
Issue #4784
The change "core: allow offset-attached managed dataspaces" addressed a
corner case of the use of nested region maps. Apparently, this change
negatively affects other scenarios (tool_chain_auto).
In order to confidently cover all the differnt situations, this patch
reworks the page-fault resolution code for improved clarity and safety,
by introducing dedicated result types, reducing the use of basic types,
choosing expressive names, and fostering constness.
It also introduces a number of 'print' hooks that greatly ease manual
instrumentation and streamlines the error messages printed by core.
Those messages no longer appear when a user-level page-fault handler
is reistered for the faulted-at region map. So the monitor component
produces less noise on the attempt to dump non-existing memory.

Using $(shell find $(REP_DIR)/patches -name *.patch) fails if the
current working directory contains *.patch files due to shell wildcard
expansion before execution. Additionally, the patch list was unstable
because it was not sorted resulting in divergent hashes.
The new 'init_platform' function performs the platform-specific
component-local low-level initialization. It allows for the
differentiation between core and regular components as well as
kernel-dependent peculiarities.
This patch introduces a consistent notion of a 'Platform'. Within core,
the 'Platform' contains the kernel-specific initialization. Outside
core, the platform sets up the interplay with the parent component. In
all cases, the platform is constructed while running on the initial
stack.
Issue #4784
The namespace draws a clear line between the base library and the core
component.
It is declared at the new core-local header <types.h>, which is expected
to be included by all code of the core component. It is thereby a
natural place for kernel-agnostic general types like commonly used C++
utilities.

If `select_from_ports` is evaluated lazily, we might miss a port during
the dependency check. A way to prevent this is to use the `:=` operator.

.SHELLFLAGS is extended by option pipefail to make pipes fail if any pipe
element fails. As .SHELLFLAGS is exported into sub-make instances it
must be unexported before calling third-party build systems recursively.
Errors during IPC receive-and-wait can occur at the server side when
a client is killed. This condition is not an error from the server's
perspective. We used to print a message nevertheless, since the
condition is rather exceptional. However, when printed during the
test-sequence test, the messages interfere with the pattern matching of
the depot_autopilot, flagging the successful test as an error.
This patch changes the 'Allocator' interface to the use of 'Attempt'
return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors.
To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original
exception-based interface - in particluar use cases where an 'Allocator'
is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still
supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new
'try_alloc'.
