SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

Besides removing the monolithic DevFSDeviceInode::determine_name()
method, being able to determine a device's name inside the /dev
hierarchy outside of DevFS has its uses.
Problem:
- The implementation of `find` is coupled to the implementation of
`SinglyLinkedList`.
Solution:
- Decouple the implementation of `find` from the class by using a
generic `find` algorithm.
Problem:
- The implementation of `find` is coupled to the implementation of
`DoublyLinkedList`.
- `append` and `prepend` are implemented multiple times so that
r-value references can be moved from into the new node. This is
probably not called very often because a pr-value or x-value needs
to be used here.
Solution:
- Decouple the implementation of `find` from the class by using a
generic `find` algorithm.
- Make `append` and `prepend` be function templates so that they can
have binding references which can be forwarded.
This allows issuing asynchronous requests for devices and waiting
on the completion of the request. The requests can cascade into
multiple sub-requests.
Since IRQs may complete at any time, if the current process is no
longer the same that started the process, we need to swich the
paging context before accessing user buffers.
Change the PATA driver to use this model.

System components that need an IRQ handling are now inheriting the
InterruptHandler class.
In addition to that, the initialization process of PATAChannel was
changed to fit the changes.
PATAChannel, E1000NetworkAdapter and RTL8139NetworkAdapter are now
inheriting from PCI::Device instead of InterruptHandler directly.
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.
It is now possible to mount ext2 `DiskDevice` devices under Serenity on
any folder in the root filesystem. Currently any user can do this with
any permissions. There's a fair amount of assumptions made here too,
that might not be too good, but can be worked on in the future. This is
a good start to allow more dynamic operation under the OS itself.
It is also currently impossible to unmount and such, and devices will
fail to mount in Linux as the FS 'needs to be cleaned'. I'll work on
getting `umount` done ASAP to rectify this (as well as working on less
assumption-making in the mount syscall. We don't want to just be able
to mount DiskDevices!). This could probably be fixed with some `-t`
flag or something similar.
Also tweak the kernel's Makefile to use -nostdinc and -nostdinc++.
This prevents us from picking up random headers from ../Root, which may
include older versions of kernel headers.
Since we still need <initializer_list> for Vector, we specifically include
the necessary GCC path. This is a bit hackish but it works for now.
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).
