0cbcd6ec9a kernel: Eliminate kernel global state
As means to pave the way for getting rid of global state within core,
This eliminates kernel global state by removing all globals. Instead
this introduces a KernelCore class which acts as a kernel instance. This
instance lives in the System class, which keeps its lifetime contained
to the lifetime of the System class.

This also forces the kernel types to actually interact with the main
kernel instance itself instead of having transient kernel state placed
all over several translation units, keeping everything together. It also
has a nice consequence of making dependencies much more explicit.

This also makes our initialization a tad bit more correct. Previously we
were creating a kernel process before the actual kernel was initialized,
which doesn't really make much sense.

The KernelCore class itself follows the PImpl idiom, which allows
keeping all the implementation details sealed away from everything else,
which forces the use of the exposed API and allows us to avoid any
unnecessary inclusions within the main kernel header.

3476f5b4d3 kernel/object: Tighten object against data races
Despite being covered by a global mutex, we should still ensure that the
class handles its reference counts properly. This avoids potential
shenanigans when it comes to data races.

Given this is the root object that drives quite a bit of the kernel
object hierarchy, ensuring we always have the correct behavior (and no
races) is a good thing.

bf45092c61 kernel: Move object class to its own source files
General moving to keep kernel object types separate from the direct
kernel code. Also essentially a preliminary cleanup before eliminating
global kernel state in the kernel code.
