8108c811ed libsel4: Remove bitfield type unifying Guard and Badge construction
Using the bitfield generator to treat guards and badges as a union type can be convenient,
but it requires reserving a bit in the data for the bitfield run time type information.
This type information is not needed by the kernel as it knows implicitly whether the passed
data is a badge or a guard based on the kind of cap being operated on. However, with the
type information present we cannot pass a word sized piece of data to the kernel.

The solution here is to go back to using a plain seL4_Word as the type for invocations
that want a capdata and let the user either construct a badge as a plain word, or use
the seL4_CNode_CapData bitfield for constructing a guard, although they have to manually extract
the word representation out of it.

2fea9a0fe2 SELFOUR-567: use seL4_CapRights_t from libsel4
This change

* changes seL4_CapRights from the kernel to be seL4_CapRights_t in
libsel4
* deprecates the duplicated seL4_CapRights in libsel4, which is
  now the bitfield generated type seL4_CapRights_t.
* fixes all usages in kernel and libsel4

Impact: for verification, this will require the type to change name
from cap_rights to seL4_CapRights_t.
This is a breaking libsel4 API change, although most code uses
seL4_AllRights or similar constants, which will not break
at a source level as these constants have been updated.

b827ad37ba SELFOUR-413: refactor libsel4 fault API
This is a *breaking API change*

This commit:

* makes seL4_Fault_tag_t common between the kernel and libsel4
* deprecates the existing functions from sel4/messages.h includes
* introduces a new fault API in sel4/faults.h and
* sel4/sel4_arch/faults.h
* deprecates seL4_GetTag(), as the function did not work without
  the user calling seL4_SetTag() first (seL4_MessageInfo is passed
  in registers and not set in the IPC buffer)
* removes previously deprecated functions (deprecated prior to 3.0.0)
* updates the seL4 manual to reflect the changes

a99a10408d SELFOUR-279: rename Wait -> Recv, add wrappers for seL4_Poll and seL4_Wait for notification objects.
This commit deprecates seL4_ReplyWait, removes seL4_NBwait completely,
and changes the return type of seL4_Wait to void (seL4_Wait should be
used for notification objects, and seL4_Recv should be used where
seL4_Wait was used previously for endpoints).
