This is in preparation of adding (much) more process information to
coredumps. As we can only have one null-terminated char[] of arbitrary
length in each struct it's now a single JSON blob, which is a great fit:
easily extensible in the future and allows for key/value pairs and even
nested objects, which will be used e.g. for the process environment, for
example.
Now, `chres 640 480 2` can set the UI to HighDPI 640x480 at runtime. A
real GUI for changing the display factor will come later.
(`chres 640 480 2` followed by `chres 1280 960` is very fast since
we don't have to re-allocate the framebuffer since both modes use
the exact same number of physical pixels.)
For small rects there was a disagreement between two parts of the
layout algorithm. There is a function that decides if there is
enough space in a rectangle for a label. But this function was
called on two slightly different rectangles.
This API was a mostly gratuitous deviation from POSIX that gave up some
portability in exchange for avoiding the occasional strlen().
I don't think that was actually achieving anything valuable, so let's
just chill out and have the same open() API as everyone else. :^)
