9f54ea9bcd NotificationServer: Add a system service for desktop notifications
This patch adds NotificationServer, which runs as the "notify" user
and provides an IPC API for desktop notifications.

LibGUI gains the GUI::Notification class for showing notifications.

NotificationServer is spawned on demand and will unspawn after
dimissing all visible notifications. :^)

Finally, this also comes with a small /bin/notify utility.

9794e18a20 Base: Run WindowServer as a separate "window" user
This was actually rather painless and straightforward. WindowServer now
runs as the "window" user. Users in the "window" group can connect to
it via the socket in /tmp/portal/window as usual.

d0a708fda4 Base: Run ProtocolServer as a separate "protocol" user
This is probably not the final design we'll want for this, but for now
let's run the HTTP client code as a separate user to reduce exposure
for the standard "anon" user account.

Note that "protocol" is also added to the "lookup" group, in order to
allow ProtocolServer to contact LookupServer for DNS requests.

f5d9f11e52 Base: Add a "lookup" user+group that runs LookupServer
LookupServer now runs as lookup:lookup, allowing connections from other
members of the "lookup" group.

This is enforced through file system permissions by having the service
socket (/tmp/portal/lookup) be mode 0660.

Now the LookupServer program can't overwrite other people's files if it
starts misbehaving. That's pretty cool :^)

5e8d6b1bf4 Base: Rename /users to /home.
I didn't like seeing /users next to /usr. /home looks nicer.

Also add a little /etc/passwd database. There's just me in there.
