processes forked with RFTHREAD.
- Use a goto to a label for common code when exiting from fork1() in case

- Move the RFTHREAD linkage setup code later in fork since the ppeers_lock
cannot be locked while holding a proc lock. Handle the race of a task
leader exiting and killing its peers while a peer is forking a new child.
In that case, go ahead and let the peer process proceed normally as the
parent is about to kill it. However, the task leader may have already
gone to sleep to wait for the peers to die, so the new child process may
not receive a SIGKILL from the task leader. Rather than try to destruct
the new child process, just go ahead and send it a SIGKILL directly and
add it to the p_peers list. This ensures that the task leader will wait
until both the peer process doing the fork() and the new child process
have received their KILL signals and exited.

borrower can not proceed back to user space with the borrowed KSE.
The borrower will return the KSE on the next context switch where
teh owner wants it back. This removes a lot of possible
race conditions and deadlocks. It is consceivable that the
borrower should inherit the priority of the owner too.
that's another discussion and would be simple to do.
Also, as part of this, the "preallocatd spare thread" is attached to the
thread doing a syscall rather than the KSE. This removes the need to lock

more refined to match the sigset_t versions, but those require further
evaluation of directions in which our signal system can expand and contract

After this has been in the tree for a while, I will make in kernel API
changes, most notably to trapsignal(9) and sendsig(9), to use ksiginfo
more robustly, such that we can actually pass information with our
(queued) signals to the userland. That will also result in using a
struct ksiginfo pointer, rather than a signal number, in a lot of
kern_sig.c, to refer to an individual pending signal queue member, but
right now there is no defined behaviour for such.

The process allocator now caches and hands out complete process structures

i.e. it get's the process structure with the first thread (and soon KSE)
already allocated and attached, all in one hit.
For the average non threaded program (non KSE that is) the allocated thread and its stack remain attached to the process, even when the process is
unused and in the process cache. This saves having to allocate and attach it
later, effectively bringing us (hopefully) close to the efficiency
of pre-KSE systems where these were a single structure.

o Replace direct credential authorization checks in ktrace() with
invocation of p_candebug(), while maintaining the special case
check of KTR_ROOT. This allows ktrace() to "play more nicely"
with new mandatory access control schemes, as well as making its
authorization checks consistent with other "debugging class"
checks.
o Eliminate "privused" construct for p_can*() calls which allowed the
