Norman Feske 21de42c45d core: Introduce 'Address_space' interface
The new core-internal 'Address_space' interface enables cores RM service
to flush mappings of a PD in which a given 'Rm_client' thread resides.
Prior this patch, each platform invented their own way to flush mappings
in the respective 'rm_session_support.cc' implementation. However, those
implementations used to deal poorly with some corner cases. In
particular, if a PD session was destroyed prior a RM session, the RM
session would try to use no longer existing PD session. The new
'Address_space' uses the just added weak-pointer mechanism to deal with
this issue.

Furthermore, the generic 'Rm_session_component::detach' function has
been improved to avoid duplicated unmap operations for platforms that
implement the 'Address_space' interface. Therefore, it is related to
issue #595. Right now, this is OKL4 only, but other platforms will follow.

This is generic part of the Genode implementation. It consists of two parts:

:_Core_: is the ultimate root of the Genode application tree
  and provides abstractions for the lowest-level hardware resources
  such as RAM, ROM, CPU, and generic device access. All generic parts of Core
  can be found here - for system-specific implementations refer to the
  appropriate 'base-<system>' directory.

:_Base libraries and protocols_: that are used by each Genode component
  to interact with other components. This is the glue that holds everything
  together.
