Summary

On CloudABI we want to create file descriptors with just the minimal set
of Capsicum rights in place. The reason for this is that it makes it
easier to obtain uniform behaviour across different operating systems.

By explicitly whitelisting the operations, we can return consistent
error codes, but also prevent applications from depending OS-specific
behaviour.

Extend kern_kqueue() to take an additional struct filecaps that is
passed on to falloc_caps(). Update the existing consumers to pass in
NULL. Extend the fd_create1() system call to call into kern_kqueue().

ed added a reviewer: jmg.

Per Kostik's request, I'll check in the changes to kern_kqueue() and the CloudABI code separately, to ease MFCing.

I'll leave the code review as is (combined), but I'll make sure to commit it separately.

Rebase on top of latest HEAD.
