Agustin Gianni ac40090583 Kernel: Add the auxiliary vector to the stack size validation ...

This patch validates that the size of the auxiliary vector does not
exceed `Process::max_auxiliary_size`. The auxiliary vector is a range
of memory in userspace stack where the kernel can pass information to
the process that will be created via `Process:do_exec`.

The reason the kernel needs to validate its size is that the about to
be created process needs to have remaining space on the stack.
Previously only `argv` and `envp` were taken into account for the
size validation, with this patch, the size of `auxv` is also
checked. All three elements contain values that a user (or an
attacker) can specify.

This patch adds the constant `Process::max_auxiliary_size` which is
defined to be one eight of the user-space stack size. This is the
approach taken by `Process:max_arguments_size` and
`Process::max_environment_size` which are used to check the sizes
of `argv` and `envp`.
