manu 5ba396cfb3 Added support for exchange of Mach messages between processes.
This does not buy us new functionnality for now, because we still have to
discover how mach_init (which acts as a name server, enabling processes to
discover each other's ports) is able to receive messages from other processes
(this is a bootstrap problem, and the bootstrap port might be the place to
search).

While we are there:
- removed a lot of debug which is now available using ktrace.
- reworked message handling to avoid mutliple copyin/copyout of the
same data. ktrace of Mach message now uses the in-kernel copy of the
message instead of copying it from userland.
- packed mach trap handlers arguments into a structure to avoid modifying
everything next time we have to add an argument.

manu b8a9df5e21 FIrst attempt at mach ports and rights, which are needed if we ever want
to implement messages between kernel and userland.
While we are there, cleanup some debug messages.

manu 66a29c52af Added a few Mach traps: mach_boostrap_register, mach_port_set_attributes,
mach_port_move_member, mach_port_set_attributes, mach_task_set_special_port,
(none do anything)
Added mach_thread_create_running, which creates a new Mach thread. It
provides the register context of the new thread. We use it in a child
function provided to fork1(). The child function is machine dependent and
is not yet implemented for i386.

The new thread crashes quickly, but at least it starts.
