By default, the sandbox uses the Env::pd() as reference PD session of
the sandbox children.
However, to accomodate use cases where the interplay of the reference
PD session and the child's address space needs to be intercepted, this
patch adds a constructor that takes an interface for the controlled
access of PD intrinsics as argument.

This patch promotes the event of an exiting child to become immediately
reported, reducing delays for management components that watch the exit
status of children.
Fixes#4814
The `with_sub_node` method is renamed to `with_optional_sub_node` to
better reflect that the non-existence of a sub node with the desired type is
ignored.
At the same time, the new `with_sub_node` now takes a second functor that is
called when no sub node of the desired type exists.

The existing assignment of CPU quotas did not anticipate the dynamic
reconfiguration of init. It merely tracked the available CPU quota by
deducing the consumed amount from a global variable but never
replenished the value. This worked for static scenarios but failed in
situations where components are dynamically re-started.
So far this deficiency remained detected because CPU quotas were not
used in highly dynamic systems like Sculpt OS. However, this has
recently changed by commit "sculpt: assign CPU quotas".
The patch improves the accounting by mirroring the existing handling of
RAM and cap quotas. Note that the CPU-quota accounting is still rather
limited. In particular the dynamic rebalancing is not yet supported.
Issue #4445
This commit optimizes the 'Child::resolve_session_request'
implementation by introducing an internal 'Route_model' for quickly
traversing routing rules instead of parsing XML on each session request.
Fixes#4068
This commit replaces the hand-crafted config processing by the use of
the 'List_model' utility. This has the following advantages:
- The parsing follows a common formalism that makes the code
easier to maintain and to understand. Several parts of the code
had to be changed (for the better) to make it fit the list model
approach. E.g., the child states have become more expressive
and logical.
- In the common case, the XML data is traversed only once, which
increases the parsing speed in dynamic scenarios.
- The code becomes easier to optimize. In particular, the patch skips
the re-evaluation of the session routing if no service is affected
by the config change.
The patch also revisits the init test by removing overly long sleep
phases and extending a few sleep phases that were too short when
executing the test on Qemu.
Issue #4068
This commit restores the diag feature for selecting diagnostic output of
services provided by core. This feature became unavailable with commit
"base: remove dependency from deprecated APIs", which hard-wired the
diag flag for core services to false.
To control this feature, three possible policies can be expressed in a
routing target of init's configuration:
* Forcing silence by specifying 'diag="no"'
* Enabling diagnostics by specifying 'diag="yes"'
* Forwarding the preference of the client by omitting the 'diag'
attribute
Fixes#3962
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.

- Since Genode::strncpy is not 100% compatible with the POSIX
strncpy function, better use a distinct name.
- Remove bogus return value from the function, easing the potential
enforcement of mandatory return-value checks later.
Fixes#3752
This patch extracts the child-management functionality from the init
component into a new library called "sandbox". The library API is
located at 'os/include/os/sandbox.h'.
The sandbox API allows for the interaction of the component with the
sandboxed children by providing locally implemented services. This
mechanism is illustrated by the new test at os/src/test/sandbox.
