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).

539d976a9a init: fix routing to child with multiple services
Init's service forwarding functionality did not take the service type
into account when forwarding a session request. If a server provides
multiple services, e.g. fb_sdl that provides both "Input" and
"Framebuffer", the type of the forwarded session request did not always
correspond to the actually requested type.

1fde4d638c init: service forwarding
This patch equips init with the ability to act as a server that forwards
session requests to its children. Session requests can be routed
depending of the requested service type and the session label
originating from init's parent.

The feature is configured by one or multiple <service> nodes hosted in
init's <config> node. The routing policy is selected by via the regular
server-side policy-selection mechanism, for example:

<config>
  ...
  <service name="LOG">
    <policy label="noux">
      <child name="terminal_log" label="important"/>
    </policy>
    <default-policy> <child name="nitlog"/> </default-policy>
  </service>
  ...
</config>

Each policy node must have a <child> sub node, which denotes name of the
server with the 'name' attribute. The optional 'label' attribute defines
the session label presented to the server, analogous to how the
rewriting of session labels works in session routes. If not specified,
the client-provided label is presented to the server as is.

Fixes #2247
