97c799576a Add close-on-exec flag for file descriptors.
I was surprised to find that dup()'ed fds don't share the close-on-exec flag.
That means it has to be stored separately from the FileDescriptor object.

19b9401487 Reduce kmalloc() traffic in directory iteration.
Pass the file name in a stack-allocated buffer instead of using an AK::String
when iterating directories. This dramatically reduces the amount of cycles
spent traversing the filesystem.

f1404aa948 Add primitive FIFO and hook it up to sys$pipe().
It's now possible to do this in bash:

cat kernel.map | fgrep List

This is very cool! :^)

03a8357e84 Implement sending signals to blocked-in-kernel processes.
This is dirty but pretty cool! If we have a pending, unmasked signal for
a process that's blocked inside the kernel, we set up alternate stacks
for that process and unblock it to execute the signal handler.

A slightly different return trampoline is used here: since we need to
get back into the kernel, a dedicated syscall is used (sys$sigreturn.)

This restores the TSS contents of the process to the state it was in
while we were originally blocking in the kernel.

NOTE: There's currently only one "kernel resume TSS" so signal nesting
definitely won't work.
