Norman Feske 0ed68a56b7 Use signals for delivering input events
This patch changes both the Input::Session interface and the skeleton
for the server-side implementation of this interface
('input/component.h').

The Input::Session interface offers a new 'sigh' function, which can be
called be the client to register a signal handler. The signal handler
gets notified on the arrival of new input. This alleviates the need to
poll for input events at the client side.

The server-side skeleton for implementing input services underwent a
redesign to make it more modular and robust. I.e., there are no
global functions needed at the server side and the event-queue
enable/disable mechanism is implemented at a central place (in the root
component) rather than inside each driver.

Fixes #46

This directory is a source-code repository containing Genode-specific
services and applications. In contrast to the components that come with
the 'os' repository, programs contained in 'gems' are able to leverage
the functionalities provided by higher-level repositories such as
'libports', and 'qt4'. To use the 'gems' repository, make sure to
also add those repositories to your build configuraion.
