Lioncash 1abed2f4c4 kernel/process: Make CodeSet a regular non-inherited object
These only exist to ferry data into a Process instance and end up going
out of scope quite early. Because of this, we can just make it a plain
struct for holding things and just std::move it into the relevant
function. There's no need to make this inherit from the kernel's Object
type.

Lioncash f4c24d0832 kernel/object: Remove unnecessary std::move from DynamicObjectCast()
boost::static_pointer_cast for boost::intrusive_ptr (what SharedPtr is),
takes its parameter by const reference. Given that, it means that this
std::move doesn't actually do anything other than obscure what the
function's actual behavior is, so we can remove this. To clarify, this
would only do something if the parameter was either taking its argument
by value, by non-const ref, or by rvalue-reference.

Lioncash 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.

Lioncash 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.

Lioncash 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.
