Norman Feske aa66b5d62f base: remove dependency from deprecated APIs
This patch adjusts the implementation of the base library and core such
that the code no longer relies on deprecated APIs except for very few
cases, mainly to keep those deprecated APIs in tact for now.

The most prominent changes are:

- Removing the use of base/printf.h

- Removing of the log backend for printf. The 'Console' with the
  format-string parser is still there along with 'snprintf.h' because
  the latter is still used at a few places, most prominently the
  'Connection' classes.

- Removing the notion of a RAM session, which does not exist in
  Genode anymore. Still the types were preserved (by typedefs to
  PD session) to keep up compatibility. But this transition should
  come to an end now.

- Slight rennovation of core's tracing service, e.g., the use of an
  Attached_dataspace as the Argument_buffer.

- Reducing the reliance on global accessors like deprecated_env() or
  core_env(). Still there is a longish way to go to eliminate all such
  calls. A useful pattern (or at least a stop-gap solution) is to
  pass the 'Env' to the individual compilation units via init functions.

- Avoiding the use of the old 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request'
  interface that returned a 'Service' instead of a 'Route'.
