94ca55cefd Meta: Add license header to source files
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.

For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.

Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.

9026598999 Kernel: Add a more expressive API for getting random bytes
We now have these API's in <Kernel/Random.h>:

    - get_fast_random_bytes(u8* buffer, size_t buffer_size)
    - get_good_random_bytes(u8* buffer, size_t buffer_size)
    - get_fast_random<T>()
    - get_good_random<T>()

Internally they both use x86 RDRAND if available, otherwise they fall
back to the same LCG we had in RandomDevice all along.

The main purpose of this patch is to give kernel code a way to better
express its needs for random data.

Randomness is something that will require a lot more work, but this is
hopefully a step in the right direction.

1b2ef8582c Kernel: Make File's can_read/can_write take a const FileDescription&
Asking a File if we could possibly read or write it will never mutate
the asking FileDescription&, so it should be const.

27f699ef0c AK: Rename the common integer typedefs to make it obvious what they are.
These types can be picked up by including <AK/Types.h>:

* u8, u16, u32, u64 (unsigned)
* i8, i16, i32, i64 (signed)

08cd75ac4b Kernel: Rename FileDescriptor to FileDescription.
After reading a bunch of POSIX specs, I've learned that a file descriptor
is the number that refers to a file description, not the description itself.
So this patch renames FileDescriptor to FileDescription, and Process now has
FileDescription* file_description(int fd).

8cbb7f101f Kernel: Have File virtuals take a FileDescriptor& rather than a Process&.
This will allow us to implement different behaviors depending on the role
of the descriptor a File is being accessed through.
