Genode application binary interface (ABI) This patch decouples the kernel-specific implementation of the dynamic linker from its kernel-agnostic binary interface. The name of the kernel-specific dynamic linker binary now corresponds to the kernel, e.g., 'ld-linux.lib.so' or 'ld-nova.lib.so'. Applications are no longer linked directly against a concrete instance of the dynamic linker but against a shallow stub called 'ld.lib.so'. This stub contains nothing but the symbols provided by the dynamic linker. It thereby represents the Genode ABI. At system-integration time, the kernel-specific run/boot_dir back ends integrate the matching the kernel-specific variant of the dynamic linker as 'ld.lib.so' into the boot image. The ABI symbol file for the dynamic linker is located at 'base/lib/symbols/ld'. It contains the joint ABI of all supported architectures. The new utility 'tool/abi_symbols' eases the creation of such an ABI symbol file for a given shared library. Its result should be manually inspected and edited as needed. The patch removes the 'syscall' library from 'base_libs.mk' to avoid polluting the kernel-agnostic ABI with kernel-specific interfaces. Issue #2190 Issue #2195

include $(BASE_DIR)/lib/mk/ld-platform.inc
Introduce 'spec' subdirectories to outline aspects Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories at the corresponding levels, e.g.: repos/base/include/spec repos/base/mk/spec repos/base/lib/mk/spec repos/base/src/core/spec ... Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform' directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'. Fix #1673
