5ed5fddb7c base/os: remove deprecated APIs
This commit removes APIs that were previously marked as deprecated. This
change has the following implications:

- The use of the global 'env()' accessor is not possible anymore.
- Boolean accessor methods are no longer prefixed with 'is_'. E.g.,
  instead of 'is_valid()', use 'valid()'.
- The last traces of 'Ram_session' are gone now. The 'Env::ram()'
  accessor returns the 'Ram_allocator' interface, which is a subset of
  the 'Pd_session' interface.
- All connection constructors need the 'Env' as argument.
- The 'Reporter' constructor needs an 'Env' argument now because the
  reporter creates a report connection.
- The old overload 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' that returned
  a 'Service' does not exist anymore.
- The base/printf.h header has been removed, use base/log.h instead.
- The old notion of 'Signal_dispatcher' is gone. Use 'Signal_handler'.
- Transitional headers like os/server.h, cap_session/,
  volatile_object.h, os/attached*_dataspace.h, signal_rpc_dispatcher.h
  have been removed.
- The distinction between 'Thread_state' and 'Thread_state_base' does
  not exist anymore.
- The header cpu_thread/capability.h along with the type definition of
  'Cpu_thread_capability' has been removed. Use the type
  'Thread_capability' define in cpu_session/cpu_session.h instead.
- Several XML utilities (i.e., at os/include/decorator) could be removed
  because their functionality is nowadays covered by util/xml_node.h.
- The 'os/ram_session_guard.h' has been removed.
  Use 'Constrained_ram_allocator' provided by base/ram_allocator.h instead.

1f4f119b1e Capability quota accounting and trading
This patch mirrors the accounting and trading scheme that Genode employs
for physical memory to the accounting of capability allocations.

Capability quotas must now be explicitly assigned to subsystems by
specifying a 'caps=<amount>' attribute to init's start nodes.
Analogously to RAM quotas, cap quotas can be traded between clients and
servers as part of the session protocol. The capability budget of each
component is maintained by the component's corresponding PD session at
core.

At the current stage, the accounting is applied to RPC capabilities,
signal-context capabilities, and dataspace capabilities. Capabilities
that are dynamically allocated via core's CPU and TRACE service are not
yet covered. Also, the capabilities allocated by resource multiplexers
outside of core (like nitpicker) must be accounted by the respective
servers, which is not covered yet.

If a component runs out of capabilities, core's PD service prints a
warning to the log. To observe the consumption of capabilities per
component in detail, the PD service is equipped with a diagnostic
mode, which can be enabled via the 'diag' attribute in the target
node of init's routing rules. E.g., the following route enables the
diagnostic mode for the PD session of the "timer" component:

  <default-route>
    <service name="PD" unscoped_label="timer">
      <parent diag="yes"/>
    </service>
    ...
  </default-route>

For subsystems based on a sub-init instance, init can be configured
to report the capability-quota information of its subsystems by
adding the attribute 'child_caps="yes"' to init's '<report>'
config node. Init's own capability quota can be reported by adding
the attribute 'init_caps="yes"'.

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).

a7f40b24ca Warn about the use of deprecated env() function
This patch enables warnings if one of the deprecate functions that rely
in the implicit use of the global Genode::env() accessor are called.

For the time being, some places within the base framework continue
to rely on the global function while omitting the warning by calling
'env_deprecated' instead of 'env'.

a7b3072cc2 Pass Env & as first argument to connection objects
This patch supplements each existing connection type with an new
constructor that is meant to replace the original one. The new
one takes a reference to the component's environment as argument and
thereby does not rely on the presence of the globally accessible
'env()' interface.

The original constructors are marked as deprecated. Once we have
completely abolished the use of the global 'env()', we will remove them.

This patch changes nitpicker's session interface to use session-local
view handles instead of view capabilities. This enables the batching
of multiple view operations into one atomic update.

64863a4b33 loader: allow to set the parent of the subsystem's view
This commit adds a 'parent_view()' function to the loader session, which
allows to set the parent view of the subsystem's Nitpicker view.

If the function is to be used, this must get done before calling
'start()'.

Fixes #1172.
