gensyscalls: alignment fixup for ARM

ARM ABI has different alignment requirements based on parameter size:
* parameters not larger than 4 bytes are aligned on 4 bytes
* parameters larger than 4 byte

gensyscalls: alignment fixup for ARM

ARM ABI has different alignment requirements based on parameter size:
* parameters not larger than 4 bytes are aligned on 4 bytes
* parameters larger than 4 bytes are aligned on 8 bytes

see:
Procedure Call Standard for the Arm Architecture
sections 5.1, Fundamental Data Types
and 6.5, Parameter Passing

Therefore the following changes are introduced in gensyscalls tool:
* new optional define SYSCALL_LONG_PARAMETER_ALIGNMENT_TYPE is introduced
* it's defined only on ARM
* on other architectures it takes on the value of SYSCALL_PARAMETER_ALIGNMENT_TYPE as a default
* constants kLongParameterAlignmentType and kLongParameterAlignmentSize are introduced
* Syscall::AddParameter uses this value for aligning parameters larger than 4 bytes

Changed the way the syscall infos are generated. We no longer include the
preprocessed <syscalls.h> header in sources compiled for the build platform.
Instead we're generating macros for the return type and parameter type sizes
via the CreateAsmStructOffsetsHeader rule (no template magic anymore) and
thus get a clear separation of host and target code, resulting in better
portability (although surprisingly enough the build already worked on 64 bit
hosts).

Renamed syscall_parameters_info structure to extended_syscall_info (and
kSyscallParametersInfos to kExtendedSyscallInfos) and added "name"
field. Now the classes for syscall kernel tracing don't need to lookup
the syscall function symbol anymore, which speeds up printing/filtering
of those entries dramatically.

Generate a kernel array kSyscallParametersInfos containing information
about syscall parameters. Particularly interesting is a type_code field
for each parameter. The mechanism isn't very accurate, but we can
classify everything in string, pointer, and integer types.

Merged branch haiku/branches/developer/bonefish/optimization revision
23139 into trunk, with roughly the following changes (for details svn
log the branch):
* The int 99 syscall handler is now fully in assembly.
* Added a sysenter/sysexit handler and use it on Pentiums that support
it (via commpage).
* Got rid of i386_handle_trap(). A bit of functionality was moved into
the assembly handler which now uses a jump table to call C functions
handling the respective interrupt.
* Some optimizations to get user debugger support code out of the
interrupt handling path.
* Introduced a thread::flags fields which allows to skip handling of
rare events (signals, user debug enabling/disabling) on the
common interrupt handling path.
* Got rid of the explicit iframe stack. The iframes can still be
retrieved by iterating through the stack frames.
* Made the commpage an architecture independent feature. It's used for
the real time data stuff (instead of creating a separate area).
* The x86 CPU modules can now provide processor optimized versions for
common functions (currently memcpy() only). They are used in the
kernel and are provided to the userland via commpage entries.
* Introduced build system feature allowing easy use of C structure
member offsets in assembly code.

Changes after merging:
* Fixed merge conflict in src/system/kernel/arch/x86/arch_debug.cpp
(caused by refactoring and introduction of "call" debugger command).

Reworked the way how the gensyscalls stuff finds out about
the sizes and alignments of syscall parameters. It no longer
generates and compiles functions with the same signature as the
syscalls. This simply doesn't generally work for cross-compilation.
Instead we provide a bit of architecture-specific code that knows
how things work for the target architecture.
