The rationale is that xous-rs should have only architecture
specific code, e.g.: riscv, arm, x86, etc. To make other
crates that depend on it not specify the features.
This could be useful when using xous-rs with `libstd`
for example.

In general, hosted mode is assumed "by default" if the target
is not Xous. This allows packages to be built cleanly on command
lines that don't know to pass a --feature flag to specify a target.
However, an explicit "hosted" flag is still retained so that we
can confirm the build system intent. This saves us from the failure
mode that we thought we were building for target A, but accidentally
ommitted the flag, and instead we've been silently building for
"hosted" mode without any warning. The main consumer of the "hosted"
flag is now just the build.rs script inside of the utralib.
rkyv-derived enums throw warnings that they are unused.
Not sure how to get rid of them; I've tried surrounding them in
`#[allow(dead_code)]` directives, and also explicitly creating
each enum variant that I'm aware of through some dummy code and
some log prints of the dummy code calls to ensure the results are
used, and the warnings still persist.
Significantly, the warnings only happen for enums that take
a value. Simple rkyv enums do not throw a warning.
These warnings overwhelm the build logs, so they need to be isolated
in order for us to ensure that the build is clean of other more
important warnings.
The method chosen to isolate them is to take the enums that are
problematic, carve them into their own special file, and add
a file-wide `#![allow(dead_code)]` directive. This only happens
in 7 service crates, and this change commits all of the modifications
in a single big commit that could be undone later if this turns out
to be a compiler regression or something similar.
I also opened an issue with the rkyv maintainer to see what his
opinion is on the situation.

This will allow for e.g. xous on riscv32-imac but not a precursor
target, for example: by using feature selectors we get to have
a bigger range of targets that we support, such as for implementations
that haven't been upstreamed or have official target-triples.
The downsides are:
- patch override libraries don't absorb feature flags. so, for
example, the AES crate that is used to patch other crates won't
be aware of the target features without modifying the referencing
crates.
- features are normally meant to be additive, but target features
are mutually exclusive. The mutex is enforced by a check in
utralib that throws a panic on build if two targets are accidentally
selected at the same time.
This macro will be removed, since it is no longer necessary. Remove this
macro across the project and replace it with a standard `main()`
function.

Spent a couple hours chasing down a "bug" which is acutally just
something about how http works that I don't understand. TCP was
working just fine but there is ... idk some sort of keep alive
thing that occupies a socket so the "web server" blocks waiting
for a read. Anyways, I guess the "right" way to solve that would
be to make a multi-threaded web server
OH GOD STOP
right. it's just a demo to prove that TCP works. done.
Open an issue if you find a problem with TCP kthx!
Was doing disjoint loads and stores on an Atomic, really, should
be using the fetch_add, fetch_sub variants to be proper.
Didn't seem to impact anything but maybe there's a future version
of me that high fives me for doing this.
This moves the kernel into the main monorepo, allowing it to share
packages with the rest of the system. This change will allow us to
reduce the number of rebuilds that take place, as well as reducing disk
usage.
Note that the loader is still an indepenent project, and the integration
of that into the monorepo is pending.
