"base: apply thread.cc fix of foc to base"
Depending on the context area a fixed location is calculated where the
memory for the stack is attached to. If the context area is released before the
detach call, the very same context area can be reused and memory for the new
stack is attached for a new thread. The detach of the old thread would then
revoke the mapping for the new thread which will cause a un-handled page fault.
Issue #549
Add functionality to lookup an object and lock it. Additional the case is
handled that a object may be already in-destruction and the lookup will deny
returning the object.
The object_pool generalize the lookup and lock functionality of the rpc_server
and serve as base for following up patches to fix dangling pointer issues.
With commit 1389b63050 in thread.cc for base-foc
a bug was fixed, where the memory of the context got freed up before running
the de-constructor.
Apply the fix also to base and base-mb.
Using the new 'join()' function, the caller can explicitly block for the
completion of the thread's 'entry()' function. The test case for this
feature can be found at 'os/src/test/thread_join'. For hybrid
Linux/Genode programs, the 'Thread_base::join()' does not map directly
to 'pthread_join'. The latter function gets already called by the
destructor of 'Thread_base'. According to the documentation, subsequent
calls of 'pthread_join' for one thread may result in undefined behaviour.
So we use a 'Genode::Lock' on this platform, which is in line with the
other platforms.

The 'copy_to' function turned out to be not flexible enough to
accommodate the Noux fork mechanism. This patch removes the function,
adds an accessor for the capability destination and a compound type
'Native_capability::Raw' to be used wherever plain capability
information must be communicated.
