de-bloat the proc structure by allocating notes
with on the heap instead of embedding them in
the proc structure.
This saves around 640 bytes per process.

Handlin notes is common for all architectures
except how the note has to be pushed on the user
stack.
This change adds a popnote() function that returns
only the note string or nil if the process should
not be notified (no notes or user notes hold off).
Popnote() also handles common errors like notify
during note handling or missing note handler and
will suicide the process in that case.

The kernel stack is now above the Proc structure,
so the explicit kstack pointer can be eliminated.

procs come from the dynamic pools, so we don't need
to remove the memory used by possible procs from the
total available.

To avoid a MAXMACH limit of 32 and make
txtflush into an array for the bitmap.
Provide portable macros for testing and clearing
the bits: needtxtflush(), donetxtflush().
On pc/pc64, define inittxtflush()/settxtflush()
as no-op macros, avoiding the storage overhead of
the txtflush array alltogether.

SSL is implemented by devssl. It's extremely
obsolete by now, and is not used anywhere but
cpu, import, and oexportfs.
This change strips out the devssl bits, but
does not (yet) remove the code from libsec.

Remove unused fields and factor common fields into a
new PMach struct in port/portdat.h.
The fields machno, splpc and proc are not moved to
PMach as they are part of the known offsets from
assembly (l.s).

Previously, mmurelease() was always called with
palloc spinlock held.
This is unneccesary for some mmurelease()
implementations as they wont release pages
to the palloc pool.
This change removes pagechainhead() and
pagechaindone() and replaces them with just
freepages() call, which aquires the palloc
lock internally as needed.
freepages() avoids holding the palloc lock
while walking the linked list of pages,
avoding some lock contention.

we might as well handle the per process cycle
counter in the portable part instead of duplicating the code
in every arch and have inconsistent implementations.
we now have a portable kenter() and kexit() function,
that is ment to be used in trap/syscall from user,
which updates the counters.
some kernels missed initializing Mach.cyclefreq.

replace machine specific userinit() by a portable
implemntation that uses kproc() to create the first
process. the initcode text is mapped using kmap(),
so there is no need for machine specific tmpmap()
functions.
initcode stack preparation should be done in init0()
where the stack is mapped and can be accessed directly.
replacing the machine specific userinit() allows some
big simplifications as sysrfork() and kproc() are now
the only callers of newproc() and we can avoid initializing
fields that we know are being initialized by these
callers.
rename autogenerated init.h and reboot.h headers.
the initcode[] and rebootcode[] blobs are now in *.i
files and hex generation was moved to portmkfile. the
machine specific mkfile only needs to specify how to
build rebootcode.out and initcode.out.
