79fa9765ca Kernel: Replace KResult and KResultOr<T> with Error and ErrorOr<T>
We now use AK::Error and AK::ErrorOr<T> in both kernel and userspace!
This was a slightly tedious refactoring that took a long time, so it's
not unlikely that some bugs crept in.

Nevertheless, it does pass basic functionality testing, and it's just
real nice to finally see the same pattern in all contexts. :^)

c05c5a7ff4 Kernel: Clarify ambiguous {File,Description}::absolute_path
Found due to smelly code in InodeFile::absolute_path.

In particular, this replaces the following misleading methods:

File::absolute_path
This method *never* returns an actual path, and if called on an
InodeFile (which is impossible), it would VERIFY_NOT_REACHED().

OpenFileDescription::try_serialize_absolute_path
OpenFileDescription::absolute_path
These methods do not guarantee to return an actual path (just like the
other method), and just like Custody::absolute_path they do not
guarantee accuracy. In particular, just renaming the method made a
TOCTOU bug obvious.

The new method signatures use KResultOr, just like
try_serialize_absolute_path() already did.

e0d712c6f7 Kernel+SystemServer: Defer creation of device nodes to userspace
Don't create these device nodes in the Kernel, so we essentially enforce
userspace (SystemServer) to take control of this operation and to decide
how to create these device nodes.

This makes the DevFS to resemble linux devtmpfs, and allows us to remove
a bunch of unneeded overriding implementations of device name creation
in the Kernel.

4a9c18afb9 Kernel: Rename FileDescription => OpenFileDescription
Dr. POSIX really calls these "open file description", not just
"file description", so let's call them exactly that. :^)
