Norman Feske 905ca7bf3f nit_fb: use server API, make resizeable
This patch reimplements the nit_fb server using the server API and
thereby enables the dynamic resizing the of the framebuffer.

Note that the new implementation does not feature the ability to perform
a periodic refresh via the 'refresh_rate' configuration argument. This
feature was removed because the refresh policy can (and should) always
be implemented on the client side.

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,
  in particular the device-driver kit, the alarm framework, and support
  for dynamic linking.
