Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
The test triggers the following assertion in the kernel, which will
remain unfixed as the kernel is no longer developed:
Assertion queue_state.is_set(queue_state_t::send) failed in file
.../pistachio/kernel/src/api/v4/tcb.h, line 727
This assertion is presumably similar / related to issue #1495.
This patch increases init's preserved RAM and capability quota to
account for a current limitation of init with respect to the creation of
sessions to parent services:
In contrast to regular routed services, sessions to parent services are
created via 'Env::session'. The implementation of 'Env::session'
automatically upgrades session quotas on demand, which is the desired
behavior for regular 'Connection' objects. However, for sessions
established on the behalf of init's children, we would need to reflect
the error condition to the child instead of resolving it locally within
init (by subsidizing the session with init's quota). This patch leaves
this issue unresolved but fixes the symptom for the bomb test. It is
meant as an interim solution until the handling of parent sessions is
revised.
Limit the number of generations to 4 to prevent hitting the
socket-descriptor limit on Linux. Also, all possible configuration
parameters for bomb our now customizable in the run script and the
current config is logged by bomb master.
Adjust bomb to specify the various hard-coded parameters and set up bomb.run
this way that it manages at our test machine to succeed in the given time.

This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
