Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen ecc3114f2a Refactored the system to use the new Terminal interface.
This will allow development of a better terminal providing stdin.

Added new system calls settermmode(2) and gettermmode(2) declared in
<sys/termmode.h>. They allow querying and changing the current mode of
terminals (enabling raw keyboard data, signal handling, line buffering,
UTF-8 encoding stdin, and more). However, all that is unsupported by the
current terminal device driver.

Added KBKEY_ENCODE and KBKEY_DECODE macros to <sys/keycodes.h> which allows
encoding the kbkey format in UTF-32 characters.

Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen ead0e1523f Refactored the kernel keyboard API, but kept system calls compatible.
Caps lock now works as caps lock, not as shift lock.

This new design will allow implementing a working tty, such that stdin is
the only way to access the keyboard, instead of the current hacky way of
using a special system call to read from the keyboard.

Added a new system header file <sys/keycodes.h> defining the constants for
every key on the keyboard. This will be used in future APIs.

The main change is to split the keyboard driver into a class that reads
from the keyboard, while another class handles the translation into
printable characters (if possible). This allows a terminal driver based
on logical key presses and printable characters, instead of a terminal
driver based only on unicode-ish codes.
