Previously Sortix would initialize SSE unconditionally as part of the
boot process. Since earlier i686 CPUs like Pentium 2 did not include
SSE, Sortix would not run on them. With this SSE is only enabled for
CPUs that include it, which should theoretically allow Sortix to boot on
all i686 CPUs. Additionally, this removes -msse -msse2 compiler flags
from trianglix/Makefile.
POSIX allows <fcntl.h> to include <sys/stat.h>, but doesn't require it.
There's little reason to do that, since they are separate headers, and
<fcntl.h> just needs the mode_t constants. Fix the code accidentally
relying on <fcntl.h> including <sys/stat.h>. The mode_t constants are now
provided in their own kernel header <sortix/mode.h>.
Additionally fix <sys/stat.h> pulling in all of <sys/types.h>, which is not
allowed by POSIX, which only requires a few types to be declared. Fix the
code accidentally relying on <sys/stat.h> including <sys/types.h>.
Finally fix <dirent.h> pulling in <stdint.h> through <sortix/dirent.h>.
The <sortix/__/dt.h> and <sortix/__/stat.h> headers are no longer required
and their contents have been merged into <sortix/__/dirent.h>.
execl(3) and its variants use a sentinel to terminate the variadic
argument list, in the form of a null pointer constant of type pointer to
char. POSIX mandates that NULL is a null pointer constant of type
pointer to void, which is not of an equivalent type to that required by
execl(3) and its variants, resulting in undefined behaviour.
This commit casts all such instances of NULL to pointer to char type.
For consistency, it also adds const-qualification to any such instances
which had already been casted, and were not const-qualified.
