Kernel+LibCore: Make %sid path parsing not take ages

Browse source 
Before this patch, Core::SessionManagement::parse_path_with_sid() would
figure out the root session ID by sifting through /sys/kernel/processes.

That file can take quite a while to generate (sometimes up to 40ms on my
machine, which is a problem on its own!) and with no caching, many of
our programs were effectively doing this multiple times on startup when
unveiling something in /tmp/session/%sid/

While we should find ways to make generating /sys/kernel/processes fast
again, this patch addresses the specific problem by introducing a new
syscall: sys$get_root_session_id(). This extracts the root session ID
by looking directly at the process table and takes <1ms instead of 40ms.

This cuts WebContent process startup time by ~100ms on my machine. :^)
