9026598999 Kernel: Add a more expressive API for getting random bytes
We now have these API's in <Kernel/Random.h>:

    - get_fast_random_bytes(u8* buffer, size_t buffer_size)
    - get_good_random_bytes(u8* buffer, size_t buffer_size)
    - get_fast_random<T>()
    - get_good_random<T>()

Internally they both use x86 RDRAND if available, otherwise they fall
back to the same LCG we had in RandomDevice all along.

The main purpose of this patch is to give kernel code a way to better
express its needs for random data.

Randomness is something that will require a lot more work, but this is
hopefully a step in the right direction.

1b2ef8582c Kernel: Make File's can_read/can_write take a const FileDescription&
Asking a File if we could possibly read or write it will never mutate
the asking FileDescription&, so it should be const.

27f699ef0c AK: Rename the common integer typedefs to make it obvious what they are.
These types can be picked up by including <AK/Types.h>:

* u8, u16, u32, u64 (unsigned)
* i8, i16, i32, i64 (signed)

08cd75ac4b Kernel: Rename FileDescriptor to FileDescription.
After reading a bunch of POSIX specs, I've learned that a file descriptor
is the number that refers to a file description, not the description itself.
So this patch renames FileDescriptor to FileDescription, and Process now has
FileDescription* file_description(int fd).

0dc9af5f7e Add clang-format file
Also run it across the whole tree to get everything using the One True Style.
We don't yet run this in an automated fashion as it's a little slow, but
there is a snippet to do so in makeall.sh.

8cbb7f101f Kernel: Have File virtuals take a FileDescriptor& rather than a Process&.
This will allow us to implement different behaviors depending on the role
of the descriptor a File is being accessed through.
