Norman Feske cda07b7da0 base: simplification of the IPC code
This commit replaces the stateful 'Ipc_client' type with the plain
function 'ipc_call' that takes all the needed state as arguments.
The stateful 'Ipc_server' class is retained but it moved from the public
API to the internal ipc_server.h header. The kernel-specific
implementations were cleaned up and simplified. E.g., the 'wait'
function does no longer exist. The badge and exception code are no
longer carried in the message buffers but are handled in kernel-specific
ways.

/*
* \brief OKL4-specific layout of IPC message buffer
* \author Norman Feske
* \date 2009-03-25
*
* On OKL4, we do not directly use the a kernel-specific message-buffer layout.
* The IPC goes through the UTCBs of the sending and receiving threads. Because
* on Genode, message buffers are decoupled from threads, we need to copy-in
* and copy-out the message payload between the message buffers and the used
* UTCBs.
