kleines Filmröllchen 2f50d8f4d3 AK+LibC+LibPthread: Introduce NoAllocationGuard ...

NoAllocationGuard is an RAII stack guard that prevents allocations
while it exists. This is done through a thread-local global flag which
causes malloc to crash on a VERIFY if it is false. The guard allows for
recursion.

The intended use case for this class is in real-time audio code. In such
code, allocations are really bad, and this is an easy way of dynamically
enforcing the no-allocations rule while giving the user good feedback if
it is violated. Before real-time audio code is executed, e.g. in LibDSP,
a NoAllocationGuard is instantiated. This is not done with this commit,
as currently some code in LibDSP may still incorrectly allocate in real-
time situations.

Other use cases for the Kernel have also been added, so this commit
builds on the previous to add the support both in Userland and in the
Kernel.
