5582a0a254 Kernel: When a lock is busy, donate remaining process ticks to lock holder.
Since we know who's holding the lock, and we're gonna have to yield anyway,
we can just ask the scheduler to donate any remaining ticks to that process.

a1b63bb6d4 Bootloader: Locate the kernel's data segment and clear it.
This was a constant source of stupid bugs and I kept postponing it because
I wasn't in the mood to write assembly code. Until now! :^)

34e745b0b4 Add uid and gid to CharacterDevices.
The vast majority of them will be owned by 0:0 (the default.)
However, PTY pairs will now be owned by the uid:gid of the opening process.

b4e478aa50 Deallocate PTY's when they close.
This required a fair bit of plumbing. The CharacterDevice::close() virtual
will now be closed by ~FileDescriptor(), allowing device implementations to
do custom cleanup at that point.

One big problem remains: if the master PTY is closed before the slave PTY,
we go into crashy land.

e9b948103d Add a /dev/pts filesystem and make PTY allocation dynamic.
You can now open as many PTY pairs as you like. Well, it's actually capped
at 8 for now, but it's just a constant and trivial to change.

Unregistering a PTY pair is untested because I didn't want to start
mucking with that in Terminal right now.

9dd29f9aa9 Add a PTY multiplexer (/dev/ptmx) device.
When you open /dev/ptmx, you get a file descriptor pointing to one of the
available MasterPTY's. If none are available, you get an EBUSY.

This makes it possible to open multiple (up to 4) Terminals. :^)

To support this, I also added a CharacterDevice::open() that gets control
when VFS is opening a CharacterDevice. This is useful when we want to return
a custom FileDescriptor like we do here.
