Norman Feske fd401bdf53 Thread API cleanup
This patch cleans up the thread API and comes with the following
noteworthy changes:

- Introduced Cpu_session::Weight type that replaces a formerly used
  plain integer value to prevent the accidental mix-up of
  arguments.
- The enum definition of Cpu_session::DEFAULT_WEIGHT moved to
  Cpu_session::Weight::DEFAULT_WEIGHT
- New Thread constructor that takes a 'Env &' as first argument.
  The original constructors are now marked as deprecated. For the
  common use case where the default 'Weight' and 'Affinity' are
  used, a shortcut is provided. In the long term, those two
  constructors should be the only ones to remain.
- The former 'Thread<>' class template has been renamed to
  'Thread_deprecated'.
- The former 'Thread_base' class is now called 'Thread'.
- The new 'name()' accessor returns the thread's name as 'Name'
  object as centrally defined via 'Cpu_session::Name'. It is meant to
  replace the old-fashioned 'name' method that takes a buffer and size
  as arguments.
- Adaptation of the thread test to the new API

This is the example operating system based on the Genode OS framework:

:_Init_: is the first real process in the system. The provided implementation
  uses a very simple XML parser to read its configuration files.

:_Drivers_: The example OS has basic drivers for frame buffer, mouse and
  keyboard input, the PCI bus, the real-time clock, and system-specific timers.

:_Server_: The only server in the example OS is Nitpicker, a
  minimal-complexity GUI server.

:_Test_: are also part of the example OS. You may have a look at the fork
  bomb as a simple system stress test.

:_Ldso_: is the dynamic linker used for loading executables that are linked
  against shared libraries.

:_Lib_: contains libraries used by the components of the OS repository,
  for example, the alarm framework.
