This patch removes the IPC endpoint numbers that needed to be specified
in the IPC files. Since the string hash is a (hopefully) collision free
number that depends on the name of the endpoint, we now use that
instead. :^)
Additionally, endpoint magic is now treated as a u32, because endpoint
numbers were never negative anyway.
For cases where the endpoint number does have to be hardcoded (a current
case is LookupServer because the endpoint number must be known in LibC),
the syntax has been made more explicit to avoid confusing those
unfamiliar. To hardcode the endpoint magic, the following syntax is now
used:
endpoint EndpointName [magic=1234]

The PIDs were used for sharing shbufs between processes, but now that
we have migrated to file descriptor passing, we no longer need to know
the PID of the other side.
This patch adds an IPC call for debugging requests. It's stringly typed
and very simple, and allows us to easily implement all the features in
the Browser's Debug menu.
To support this, the GUI process and the WebContent service will now
coordinate their backing store bitmaps. Each backing store can be
referred to by a serial ID, and we don't need to keep resending it
as a file descriptor.
We should probably do something similar in WindowServer. :^)
