Basically, there was a pretty subtle race between the cpus in main where if the main cpu released the AP cpus and then before the AP cpus had a chance to run the boot cpu started creating the main thread (which causes smp ici messages to be created) the system would livelock, where the boot cpu waited forever for the AP cpu to acknowledge the ICI (for a TLB flush when creating the kernel stack).
Added smp_cpu_rendezvous(), used to synchronize all the cpus to a particular point, and used it a few times in main().
While i was at it i fixed another race that'll probably never happen, but what the hey. Make sure the kernel args are copied into kernel space by the main cpu before letting any other ones use it.

kernel TLBs from being flushed on context switch.
* new arch_cpu_user_TLB_invalidate() that now does what arch_cpu_global_TLB_invalidate()
did before.
* arch_cpu_global_TLB_invalidate() will now flush all TLBs, even those from the
kernel.
* some cleanups.

The "data_ptr" parameter is now only freed if you specify SMP_MSG_FLAG_FREE_ARG
when sending the ICI message.

Extracted scheduler_init() from start_scheduler() (which is now called scheduler_start()).
Moved scheduler related function prototypes from thread.h to the new scheduler.h.
Cleanup.

some broken C++ export definitions, added missing licenses etc.
