b2ad98214d avoid passing extra_caps_t by value
The RISC-V calling convention specifies that when a C function takes an
argument by value, the binary function should take the argument by
reference, if the value is larger than 2 pointer words.

For binary verification, we avoid implementing this aspect of the RISC-V
calling convention, by eliminating all such function arguments for
functions which are not inlined.

In this commit, we remove `extra_caps_t` function arguments. This
primarily concerns invocation decode functions. Since `loookupExtraCaps`
already stores extra caps in a global `current_extra_caps`, this
essentially amounts to eliminating many redundant structure copy
operations.

On some execution paths involving IPC, the extra caps lookup may happen
twice: first in the invocation decode, and then for cap transfer in the
performance phase of the IPC operation. Because the two phases are
entirely distinct, there is no interference in the use of a common
global variable.

Even though we are primarily concerned with RISC-V, we remove
`extra_caps_t` arguments across all architectures.

512a0200de replacing all ifndef with pargma once
All the kernel header files now use pargma once rather than the ifndef,
as the pre-processed C files do not change while header files
are protected with pargma once. This will also solve any naming issues
caused by ifndef.

79da079239 Convert license tags to SPDX identifiers
This commit also converts our own copyright headers to directly use
SPDX, but leaves all other copyright header intact, only adding the
SPDX ident. As far as possible this commit also merges multiple
Data61 copyright statements/headers into one for consistency.

952134d1b8 mcs: Add a scheduling context object
This is the first part of the seL4 MCS. This commit:

    * adds a scheduling context object. Threads without scheduling
      context objects cannot be scheduled.
    * replaces tcbTimeSlice with the scheduling context object
    * adds seL4_SchedControl caps for each core
    * adds seL4_SchedControl_Configure which allows users to configure
      amount of ticks a scheduling context has, and set a core for the
      scheduling context.
    * adds seL4_SchedContext_Bind, Unbind and UnbindObject, which allows
      a tcb to be bound to a scheduling context.
