This patch also includes some changes in the way that the environment
and arguments are passed to `exec`. It was needed to fit the signature
of `Core::System::exec`. That's beneficial though, as we are now doing
`String` manipulation in a fallible environment, so we can propagate
more errors.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
Various changes are needed to support this:
- The directory is created by Core::Account on login (and located in
/tmp).
- Service's sockets are now deleted on exit (to allow re-creation)
- SystemServer needs to handle SIGTERM to correctly destroy services.
SystemServer now invokes services with the same uid as the process that
made the request.
This allows the superuser to have a normal GUI workflow. For example,
read and write its own files in TextEditor.
SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

This was done with the `ambr` search and replace tool.

SystemServer only allowed a single socket to be created for a service
before this. Now, SystemServer will allow any amount of sockets. The
sockets can be defined like so:
[SomeService]
Socket=/tmp/portal/socket1,/tmp/portal/socket2,/tmp/portal/socket3
SocketPermissions=660,600
The last item in SocketPermissions is applied to the remainder of the
sockets in the Socket= line, so multiple sockets can have the same
permissions without having to repeat them.
Defining multiple sockets is not allowed for socket-activated services
at the moment, and wouldn't make much sense anyway.
This patch also makes socket takeovers more robust by removing the
assumption that the socket will always be passed in fd 3. Now, the
SOCKET_TAKEOVER environment variable carries information about which
endpoint corresponds to which socket, like so:
SOCKET_TAKEOVER=/tmp/portal/socket1:3 /tmp/portal/socket2:4
and LocalServer/LocalService will parse this automatically and select
the correct one. The old behavior of getting the default socket is
preserved so long as the service only requests a single socket in
SystemServer.ini.
This is basically just for consistency, it's quite strange to see
multiple AK container types next to each other, some with and some
without the namespace prefix - we're 'using AK::Foo;' a lot and should
leverage that. :^)
