In order to make this kind of operation simpler, we no longer use a
Vector to store pointers to DevFSDeviceInode, but an IntrusiveList is
used instead. Also, we only allow to remove device nodes for now, but
in theory we can allow to remove all kinds of files from the DevFS.
Don't create these device nodes in the Kernel, so we essentially enforce
userspace (SystemServer) to take control of this operation and to decide
how to create these device nodes.
This makes the DevFS to resemble linux devtmpfs, and allows us to remove
a bunch of unneeded overriding implementations of device name creation
in the Kernel.
Prior to this change, both uid_t and gid_t were typedef'ed to `u32`.
This made it easy to use them interchangeably. Let's not allow that.
This patch adds UserID and GroupID using the AK::DistinctNumeric
mechanism we've already been employing for pid_t/ProcessID.
The error handling in all these cases was still using the old style
negative values to indicate errors. We have a nicer solution for this
now with KResultOr<T>. This change switches the interface and then all
implementers to use the new style.

The DevFS along with DevPtsFS give a complete solution for populating
device nodes in /dev. The main purpose of DevFS is to eliminate the
need of device nodes generation when building the system.
Later on, DevFS will assist with exposing disk partition nodes.
