19d3f8cab7 Kernel+LibC: Turn errno codes into a strongly typed enum
..and allow implicit creation of KResult and KResultOr from ErrnoCode.
This means that kernel functions that return those types can finally
do "return EINVAL;" and it will just work.

There's a handful of functions that still deal with signed integers
that should be converted to return KResults.

c8d9f1b9c9 Kernel: Make copy_to/from_user safe and remove unnecessary checks
Since the CPU already does almost all necessary validation steps
for us, we don't really need to attempt to do this. Doing it
ourselves doesn't really work very reliably, because we'd have to
account for other processors modifying virtual memory, and we'd
have to account for e.g. pages not being able to be allocated
due to insufficient resources.

So change the copy_to/from_user (and associated helper functions)
to use the new safe_memcpy, which will return whether it succeeded
or not. The only manual validation step needed (which the CPU
can't perform for us) is making sure the pointers provided by user
mode aren't pointing to kernel mappings.

To make it easier to read/write from/to either kernel or user mode
data add the UserOrKernelBuffer helper class, which will internally
either use copy_from/to_user or directly memcpy, or pass the data
through directly using a temporary buffer on the stack.

Last but not least we need to keep syscall params trivial as we
need to copy them from/to user mode using copy_from/to_user.

7a3ab6c517 Kernel: Make File::write() and File::read() return KResultOr<size_t>
Instead of returning a ssize_t where negative values mean error,
we now return KResultOr<size_t> and use the error state to report
errors exclusively.

21d5f4ada1 Kernel: Absorb LibBareMetal back into the kernel
This was supposed to be the foundation for some kind of pre-kernel
environment, but nobody is working on it right now, so let's move
everything back into the kernel and remove all the confusion.

94ca55cefd Meta: Add license header to source files
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.

For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.

Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.

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)

8b1154f5f2 Kernel: Implement serial port driver
This implements a basic 8250 UART serial port driver. It does not
currently handle (or enable) interrupts, nor any runtime configuration.
