58f44d39c5 base: use 'Ram_quota' in 'Ram_session' args
This patch replaces the former use of size_t with the use of the
'Ram_quota' type to improve type safety (in particular to avoid
accidentally mixing up RAM quotas with cap quotas).

Issue #2398

1489791d5e init: explicit response to resource requests
This patch removes the formerly built-in policy of responding to
resource requests with handing out slack quota. Instead, resource
requests have to be answered by an update of the init configuration with
adjusted quota values.

Note that this patch may break run scripts that depend on init's
original policy. Those run scripts may be adjusted by increasing the
quota for the components that use to inflate their RAM usage during
runtime such that the specified quota suffices for the entire lifetime
of the component.

06943f413d init: respond to RAM-quota changes in config
This patch improves init's dynamic reconfigurability with respect to
adjustments of the RAM quota assigned to the children.

If the RAM quota is decreased, init withdraws as much quota from the
child's RAM session as possible. If the child's RAM session does not
have enough available quota, a resource-yield request is issued to
the child. Cooparative children may respond to such a request by
releasing memory.

If the RAM quota is increased, the child's RAM session is upgraded.
If the configuration exceeds init's available RAM, init re-attempts
the upgrade whenever new slack memory becomes available (e.g., by
disappearing other children).

1cf830497a init: refactoring into multiple files
This patch splits the implementation of init into several headers to
make the implementation easier to digest and to maintain.
