This commit backs out most of commit b4747286b1.  That change was added because sem_wait() would sometimes cause cancellation points inappropriated.  But with these recent changes, nxsem_wait() is used instead and it is not a cancellation point.

    In the OS, all calls to sem_wait() changed to nxsem_wait().  nxsem_wait() does not return errors via errno so each place where nxsem_wait() is now called must not examine the errno variable.

    In all OS functions (not libraries), change sem_wait() to nxsem_wait().  This will prevent the OS from creating bogus cancellation points and from modifying the per-task errno variable.

    sched/semaphore:  Add the function nxsem_wait().  This is a new internal OS interface.  It is functionally equivalent to sem_wait() except that (1) it is not a cancellation point, and (2) it does not set the per-thread errno value on return.

sched/semaphore:  Add nxsem_post() which is identical to sem_post() except that it never modifies the errno variable.  Changed all references to sem_post in the OS to nxsem_post().

    sched/semaphore:  Add nxsem_destroy() which is identical to sem_destroy() except that it never modifies the errno variable.  Changed all references to sem_destroy() in the OS to nxsem_destroy().

    libc/semaphore and sched/semaphore:  Add nxsem_getprotocol() and nxsem_setprotocola which are identical to sem_getprotocol() and set_setprotocol() except that they never modifies the errno variable.  Changed all references to sem_setprotocol in the OS to nxsem_setprotocol().  sem_getprotocol() was not used in the OS

libc/semaphore:  Add nxsem_getvalue() which is identical to sem_getvalue() except that it never modifies the errno variable.  Changed all references to sem_getvalue in the OS to nxsem_getvalue().

    sched/semaphore:  Rename all internal private functions from sem_xyz to nxsem_xyz.  The sem_ prefix is (will be) reserved only for the application semaphore interfaces.

    libc/semaphore:  Add nxsem_init() which is identical to sem_init() except that it never modifies the errno variable.  Changed all references to sem_init in the OS to nxsem_init().

    sched/semaphore:  Rename sem_tickwait() to nxsem_tickwait() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.

    sched/semaphoate:  Rename sem_reset() to nxsem_reset() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.

dffb8a67e3 Add entropy pool and strong random number generator
Entropy pool gathers environmental noise from device drivers, user-space, etc., and returns good random numbers, suitable for cryptographic use. Based on entropy pool design from *BSDs and uses BLAKE2Xs algorithm for CSPRNG output.

Patch also adds /dev/urandom support for using entropy pool RNG and new 'getrandom' system call for getting randomness without file-descriptor usage (thus avoiding file-descriptor exhaustion attacks). The 'getrandom' interface is similar as 'getentropy' and 'getrandom' available on OpenBSD and Linux respectively.
