d1371d66f7 Kernel: Use non-locking {Nonnull,}RefPtr for OpenFileDescription
This patch switches away from {Nonnull,}LockRefPtr to the non-locking
smart pointers throughout the kernel.

I've looked at the handful of places where these were being persisted
and I don't see any race situations.

Note that the process file descriptor table (Process::m_fds) was already
guarded via MutexProtected.

11eee67b85 Kernel: Make self-contained locking smart pointers their own classes
Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:

- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable

This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:

- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable

The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.

12867d60ad Kernel: Create SelfTTYDevice class to help replace /dev/tty symlink
This will replace the /dev/tty symlink created by SystemServer, so
instead of a symlink, a character device will be created. When doing
read(2), write(2) and ioctl(2) on this device, it will "redirect" these
operations to the attached TTY of the current process.
