As means to pave the way for getting rid of global state within core,
This eliminates kernel global state by removing all globals. Instead
this introduces a KernelCore class which acts as a kernel instance. This
instance lives in the System class, which keeps its lifetime contained
to the lifetime of the System class.
This also forces the kernel types to actually interact with the main
kernel instance itself instead of having transient kernel state placed
all over several translation units, keeping everything together. It also
has a nice consequence of making dependencies much more explicit.
This also makes our initialization a tad bit more correct. Previously we
were creating a kernel process before the actual kernel was initialized,
which doesn't really make much sense.
The KernelCore class itself follows the PImpl idiom, which allows
keeping all the implementation details sealed away from everything else,
which forces the use of the exposed API and allows us to avoid any
unnecessary inclusions within the main kernel header.
This amends cases where crashes can occur that were missed due to the
odd way the previous code was set up (using 3DS memory regions that
don't exist).
General moving to keep kernel object types separate from the direct
kernel code. Also essentially a preliminary cleanup before eliminating
global kernel state in the kernel code.
Verified with a hwtest and implemented based on reverse engineering.
Thread A's priority will get bumped to the highest priority among all the threads that are waiting for a mutex that A holds.
Once A releases the mutex and ownership is transferred to B, A's priority will return to normal and B's priority will be bumped.
Switch mutexes are no longer kernel objects, they are managed in userland and only use the kernel to handle the contention case.
Mutex addresses store a special flag value (0x40000000) to notify the guest code that there are still some threads waiting for the mutex to be released. This flag is updated when a thread calls ArbitrateUnlock.
TODO:
* Fix svcWaitProcessWideKey
* Fix svcSignalProcessWideKey
* Remove the Mutex class.

The delay specified here is from a Nintendo 3DS, and should be measured in a Nintendo Switch.
This change is enough to prevent Puyo Puyo Tetris's main thread starvation.
This change makes for a clearer (less confusing) path of execution in the scheduler, now the code to execute when a thread awakes is closer to the code that puts the thread to sleep (WaitSynch1, WaitSynchN). It also allows us to implement the special wake up behavior of ReplyAndReceive without hacking up WaitObject::WakeupAllWaitingThreads.
If savestates are desired in the future, we can change this implementation to one similar to the CoreTiming event system, where we first register the callback functions at startup and assign their identifiers to the Thread callback variable instead of directly assigning a lambda to the wake up callback variable.
Don't automatically assume that Thread::Create will only be called when the parent process is currently scheduled. This assumption will be broken when applets or system modules are loaded.
This commit removes the overly general THREADSTATUS_WAIT_SYNCH and replaces it with two more granular statuses:
THREADSTATUS_WAIT_SYNCH_ANY when a thread waits on objects via WaitSynchronization1 or WaitSynchronizationN with wait_all = false.
THREADSTATUS_WAIT_SYNCH_ALL when a thread waits on objects via WaitSynchronizationN with wait_all = true.
