Implement wall clock time (rumprun-xen issue #13)
This change adds minios_clock_wall() as a global symbol to return wall
clock time from Xen. I did not reinstate the minios "gettime()" which is
available upstream as that relies on a definitition of struct timeval.
minios_monotonic_clock() is renamed to minios_clock_monotonic() for
consistency.
rumpuser_clock_gettime() is updated to support RUMPUSER_CLOCK_REWALL,
returning wall clock time.
All rumphyper calls to the minios NOW() macro are replaced with calls to
the properly namespaces minios_clock_monotonic().

Mini-OS: netfront: Fix rx ring starvation in network_rx
In network_rx() we must push the same amount of requests back onto the
ring in the second loop that we consumed in the first loop. Otherwise
the ring will eventually starve itself of free request slots and no
packets will be delivered.

Extricate rumprun build system from Mini-OS
Moves the Mini-OS Makefile and associated bits to xen/, separating the
rumprun and Mini-OS build systems. This will hopefully prepare us better
for (possibly) merging with upstream Mini-OS.
Further changes arising from this:
- All minios and rumprun object files are now built under obj/
- MiniOS build installs the arch-specific ldscript under
obj/xen/minios.lds
- Rather than separately specifying the arch-specific startfile in
app-tools specs we link it into the final minios.o and use that as the
startfile.
The advantage of this approach is we no longer have to "hunt" for the
startfile _OR_ the arch-specific lib in the top-level Makefile. It
does mean the resulting application has a different memory layout due
to link order but this should not matter.

Configure rumprun-xen application stacks from Xenstore
In order to run rumprun-xen applications that are actually useful, we
need to be able to configure block devices and network interfaces.
These changes implement a basic mechanism to do this using Xenstore.
Conceptually the changes consist of the following parts which work
together:
- The rumpconfig module provides _rumprun_config() and
_rumprun_deconfig() functions. These are called before and after the
application main() function, and also in the case of deconfig when
_exit() is called.
- These functions rely on keys like the following being present in
Xenstore at the time the domain is started:
- The "xr" driver script, currently located in app-tools/. The
motivation for this script is twofold:
Firstly, in order to write the configuration to Xenstore the domain
must be created in a paused state so that we can retrieve its unique
<domid>. Only then do we know where in Xenstore to write the
configuration data.
Secondly, it is my intention with this work to provide a
"docker-alike" interface for running rumprun applications. The "xr"
script is therefore the CLI for running such applications.
Note that in this initial version, only configuring IPv4 network
interfaces with DHCP is supported, and only using image files with ffs
or cd9660 filesystems for block devices is supported.

rumpuser_exit(), _exit(): Cleanly halt Mini-OS.
rumpuser_exit() and _exit() were calling minios_do_exit() which is
intended to be called from an exception context and/or other "panic"
situation. This was causing the stack trace code in minios_do_exit() to
walk off into never never land when the rumprun-xen application called
exit() or returned from main().
This commit adds a new minios_do_halt(reason) function, with the reason
code intended to mirror SHUTDOWN_* in xen/sched.h. Of those, currently
only poweroff and crash are implemented.
We then modify the rumpuser_exit() and _exit() functions to correctly
shut down the domain by calling minios_stop_kernel() followed by
minios_do_halt(MINIOS_HALT_POWEROFF).

Speed up app-configure by a factor of many.
This is done by not linking in the full rump kernel at the configure
stage. A cross-configure configure script will only do compile tests and
it does not really care about what is present in the kernel. Since all
of the "libc" bits are in librump (apart from ones we handle directly on
top of minios), just linking in librump at the configure stage is enough.
