Turns out we didn't end up needing this capability, so, commenting it
out because it is a shy too powerful and is like packing a live
mortar shell in a storage unit: eventually, someone is going to
get hurt, even though it seems mostly harmless at the moment.
Code just commented out in case we need this feature in the future,
but, the main reason it was asked for (the PDDB) was accomplished
without it.
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.

Each Cargo.toml now includes a comment which remnids maintainers
of the dependency policy for Xous (that is, nail down every dependency
to the minor number).
Correctly handle transitions to and from exception handling.
Previously, the thread ID was incorrectly set such that the exception
handler became a valid thread. This has been adjusted so that the
exception handler is no longer considered a thread, and all other
threads will cease scheduling during this process.

Memory is on-demand allocated, meaning it's entirely possible to
allocate and free memory without ever touching physical pages.
Previously, when we attempted to free memory, it would skip over pages
that were never backed by real memory.
With this patch, we continue to free the virtual page even if there is
no associated physical page.

If a process is currently running, it needs to be placed into the
`Debug` state rather than the `Ready` state.
Additionally, the process that's being switched to must enter the
`Running` state.

If a process fails for some reason (e.g. by performing a fault) and
there is no exception handler, either terminate the process or (if
gdbserver is enabled) have it suspend the process.

Previously, we were creating a stack beginning at the initial page,
and then growing it upwards. The correct behavior is to begin it at
the top and grow it downwards.
In order to do this, subtract the size of the stack from the initial
pointer.
