In general it is probably a good idea to set a timeout on any futex waits that
the sentry is doing. For now just output some helpful logs about what the shared
memory looks like; in the future we may want to do something more useful on
ETIMEDOUT events.

This is the initial implementation of the systrap context queue via a ringbuffer
in shared memory between stub threads and the sentry.
In this new model there is no longer a bound sysmsg thread for every context;
instead each subprocess starts with one initial sysmsg thread, which starts
polling the context queue for new contexts arriving from the sentry. If the
sentry detects that contexts are spending too much time in the context queue
without being processed, it will create new sysmsg threads or wake sleeping
ones. Tangentially, sysmsg threads will go to sleep if they spend too much time
busy looping without new context arrivals.
This model does not yet take into account the full load of the host system or
even multiple subprocesses in the same sandbox. Multiple overloaded subprocesses
are liable to make each other run slower by kicking sysmsg threads more often
than they need to; this will be remedied in follow up CLs.

Also add interrupt handling for context decoupling.
Previously syshandler interrupts would be retriggered no matter if the interrupt
arrived before the switch to sentry or after. We only need to handle the case of
it arriving after.
Additionally this CL introduces interrupt handling for the decoupled context
mode, by making interrupts target task contexts rather than sysmsg threads.

Saves task context state to the separate context memory region which is mapped
to all subprocess sysmsg threads, instead of always saving the context to the
thread-specific sysmsg.
When context decoupling is disabled fpstate is not saved to this region, but
GP registers and signal info are.

The systrap platform like the ptrace platform uses stub processes to manage
the user address space. The difference is how they intercept system calls and
other events like memory faults, exceptions, etc.
In case of systrap, all events that have to be handled by the Sentry trigger
signals that are handled by a custom signal handler installed on stub
processes. The signal handler switches control to the Sentry.
Here are a few other optimizations:
* On x86, system calls can be replaced with a function call to remove overhead
of signals.
* For fast interactions of sentry and stub processes, futex wait/wake can
be a bottle neck, so we use a polling mode.
The platform is launched for the purpose of testing and gathering initial
feedback. It is not yet ready for use in production.
