This is the new way to refer to tasks in rust-land. Currently all they
do is serve as a key to look up the old rust_task structure. Ideally
they won't be ref counted, but baby steps.
Tasks are spawned on a random thread. Currently they stay there, but
we should add task migration and load balancing in the future. This
should drammatically improve our task performance benchmarks.
We're trying to get closer to doing correct move semantics for channel
operations. This involves a lot of cleanup (such as removing the
unused sched parameter from rust_vec constructor) and making
circular_buffer kernel_owned.
Added tagging for memory allocations. This means we give a string tag
to everything we allocate. If we leak something and TRACK_ALLOCATIONS
is enabled, then it's much easier now to tell exactly what is leaking.
Ports and channels have been moved to the kernel pool, since they've
been known to outlive their associated task. This probably isn't the
right thing to do, the life cycle needs fixed instead.
Some refactorying in memory_region.cpp. Added a helper function to
increment and decrement the allocation counter. This makes it easier
to switch between atomic and non-atomic increments. Using atomic
increments for now, although this still does not fix the problem.
The callback happens when a task moves from the "blocked" state to the
"running" state. The callback is also inherited by child tasks. There
is currently only a native API.
This code hasn't been heavily exercised yet.
duplication, but we will hopefully drop the rustboot one soon.
This is also a preparation for changing the rustc one to have the activate glue
return to the exit glue which will then call the main function.
This (returning to the function that calls main) matches what happens when
loader stats a program or a new thread. It lets gdb produce good backtraces
and should help with EH too.

The runtime logging categories are now treated in the same way as
modules in compiled code. Each domain now has a log_lvl that can be
used to restrict the logging from that domain (will be used to allow
logging to be restricted to a single domain).
Features dropped (can be brought back to life if there is interest):
- Logger indentation
- Multiple categories per log statement
- I possibly broke some of the color code -- it confuses me
