kernel: profile system when SYSTEM_PROFILER is defined.

* This enables a mechanism to profile almost the complete boot process
(starting with main2()), if SYSTEM_PROFILER is defined to 1.
* You can access the profiling data using "profile -r".

* Work-in-progress on a kernel profile service that can be evaluated from
userland afterwards.

* Scheduler/wait object listener:
- Moved scheduler listening interface to <listeners.h> and added more
convenient to use templatized notification functions.
- Added a listener mechanism for the wait objects (semaphores, condition
variables, mutex, rw_lock).
* system profiler:
- Hopefully fixed locking issues related to notifying the profiler thread
for good. We still had an inconsistent locking order, since the scheduler
notification callbacks are invoked with the thread lock held and have to
acquire the object lock then, while the other callbacks acquired the object
lock first and as a side effect of ConditionVariable::NotifyOne() acquired
the thread lock. Now we make sure the object lock is the innermost lock.
- Track the number of dropped events due to a full buffer.
_user_system_profiler_next_buffer() returns this count now.
- When scheduling profiling events are requested also listen to wait objects
and generate the respective profiling events. We send those events lazily
and cache the infos to avoid resending an event for the same wait object.
- When starting profiling we do now generate "thread scheduled" events for
the already running threads.
- _user_system_profiler_start(): Check whether the parameters pointer is a
userland address at all.
- The system_profiler_team_added event does now also contain the team's name.
* Added a sem_get_name_unsafe() returning a semaphore's name. It is "unsafe",
since the caller has to ensure that the semaphore exists and continues to
exist as long as the returned name is used.
* Adjusted the "profile" and "scheduling_recorder" according to the system
profiling changes. The latter prints the number of dropped events, now.

* Changed the interface of _kern_system_profiler_start(). The parameters are
passed in a structure now, so it is easier to extend it and ignore unused
parameters.
* One can now select which system profiling events one is interested in.
* Added scheduling events to the system profiling interface. Those are pretty
much the ones recorded when scheduler tracing is enabled. Still missing are
the "wait object" events that allow to interpret what a thread is waiting
for.
