sys: extend use of the howmany() macro when available.

We have a howmany() macro in the <sys/param.h> header that is
convenient to re-use as it makes things easier to read.

Separate POSIX sem/shm objects in jails, by prepending the jail's path
name to the object's "path". While the objects don't have real path
names, it's a filesystem-like namespace, which allows jails to be
kept to their own space, but still allows the system / jail parent to
access a jail's IPC.

A change to KPI of vm_pager_get_pages() and underlying VOP_GETPAGES().

o With new KPI consumers can request contiguous ranges of pages, and
unlike before, all pages will be kept busied on return, like it was
done before with the 'reqpage' only. Now the reqpage goes away. With
new interface it is easier to implement code protected from race
conditions.

Such arrayed requests for now should be preceeded by a call to
vm_pager_haspage() to make sure that request is possible. This
could be improved later, making vm_pager_haspage() obsolete.

Strenghtening the promises on the business of the array of pages
allows us to remove such hacks as swp_pager_free_nrpage() and
vm_pager_free_nonreq().

o New KPI accepts two integer pointers that may optionally point at
values for read ahead and read behind, that a pager may do, if it
can. These pages are completely owned by pager, and not controlled
by the caller.

This shifts the UFS-specific readahead logic from vm_fault.c, which
should be file system agnostic, into vnode_pager.c. It also removes
one VOP_BMAP() request per hard fault.

Add kern_shm_open().

This allows you to specify the capabilities that the new file descriptor
should have. This allows us to create shared memory objects that only
have the rights we're interested in.

The idea behind restricting the rights is that it makes it a lot easier
for CloudABI to get consistent behaviour across different operating
systems. We only need to make sure that a shared memory implementation
consistently implements the operations that are whitelisted.

Add a new file operations hook for mmap operations. File type-specific
logic is now placed in the mmap hook implementation rather than requiring
it to be placed in sys/vm/vm_mmap.c. This hook allows new file types to
support mmap() as well as potentially allowing mmap() for existing file
types that do not currently support any mapping.

The vm_mmap() function is now split up into two functions. A new
vm_mmap_object() function handles the "back half" of vm_mmap() and accepts
a referenced VM object to map rather than a (handle, handle_type) tuple.
vm_mmap() is now reduced to converting a (handle, handle_type) tuple to a
a VM object and then calling vm_mmap_object() to handle the actual mapping.
The vm_mmap() function remains for use by other parts of the kernel
(e.g. device drivers and exec) but now only supports mapping vnodes,
character devices, and anonymous memory.

The mmap() system call invokes vm_mmap_object() directly with a NULL object
for anonymous mappings. For mappings using a file descriptor, the
descriptors fo_mmap() hook is invoked instead. The fo_mmap() hook is
responsible for performing type-specific checks and adjustments to
arguments as well as possibly modifying mapping parameters such as flags
or the object offset. The fo_mmap() hook routines then call
vm_mmap_object() to handle the actual mapping.

The fo_mmap() hook is optional. If it is not set, then fo_mmap() will
fail with ENODEV. A fo_mmap() hook is implemented for regular files,
character devices, and shared memory objects (created via shm_open()).

While here, consistently use the VM_PROT_* constants for the vm_prot_t
type for the 'prot' variable passed to vm_mmap() and vm_mmap_object()
as well as the vm_mmap_vnode() and vm_mmap_cdev() helper routines.
Previously some places were using the mmap()-specific PROT_* constants
instead. While this happens to work because PROT_xx == VM_PROT_xx,
using VM_PROT_* is more correct.
