60ba210a6b hw: reference count capabilities in UTCBs
When capabilities are delegated to components, they are added to the UTCB of the
target thread. Before the thread is able to take out the capability id out of
the UTCB and adapt the user-level capability reference counter, it might happen
that another thread of the same component deletes the same capability because
its user-level reference counter reached zero. If the kernel then destroys the
capability, before the same capability id is taken out of all UTCBs, an
inconsitent view in the component is the result.  To keep an consistent view in
the multi-threading scenario, the kernel now counts how often it puts a
capability into a UTCB. The threads on the other hand hint the kernel when they
took capabilities out of the UTCB, so the kernel can decrement the counter
again. Only when the counter is zero, capabilities can get destructed.

c850462f43 hw: replace kernel's object id allocators
Instead of having an ID allocator per object class use one global allocator for
all. Thereby artificial limitations for the different object types are
superfluent. Moreover, replace the base-hw specific id allocator implementation
with the generic Bit_allocator, which is also memory saving.
