Norman Feske a903049a1a cli_monitor: Resource-balancing support
This patch introduces new commands for dynamically balancing RAM between
subsystems. The 'status' command prints a table with the RAM status of
each subsystem. The 'ram' command changes the quota or a quota limit of
a given subsystem. The quota limit can be defined to allow the on-demand
expansion of the quota. Finally, the 'yield' command can be used to
instruct a subsystem to yield a specified amount of resources.

For trying out the new commands, a so-called 'ram_eater' example has
been added to the 'terminal_mux.run' scenario. This program simulates a
subsystem with a growing demand for resources, yet with the capability
to yield resources when instructed by the parent (i.e., cli_monitor).

Besides implementing the new features, the patch splits the
implementation of 'cli_monitor' into multiple files.

README

This is the example operating system based on the Genode OS framework:

:_Init_: is the first real process in the system. The provided implementation
  uses a very simple XML parser to read its configuration files.

:_Drivers_: The example OS has basic drivers for frame buffer, mouse and
  keyboard input, the PCI bus, the real-time clock, and system-specific timers.

:_Server_: The only server in the example OS is Nitpicker, a
  minimal-complexity GUI server.

:_Test_: are also part of the example OS. You may have a look at the fork
  bomb as a simple system stress test.

:_Ldso_: is the dynamic linker used for loading executables that are linked
  against shared libraries.

:_Lib_: contains libraries used by the components of the OS repository,
  in particular the device-driver kit, the alarm framework, and support
  for dynamic linking.
