Subject: [RFC v13][PATCH 08/14] Infrastructure for shared objects

Infrastructure to handle objects that may be shared and referenced by
multiple tasks or other objects, e..g open files, memory address space
etc.

The state of shared objects is saved once. On the first encounter, the
state is dumped and the object is assigned a unique identifier (objref)
and also stored in a hash table (indexed by its physical kenrel address).
>From then on the object will be found in the hash and only its identifier
is saved.

On restart the identifier is looked up in the hash table; if not found
then the state is read, the object is created, and added to the hash
table (this time indexed by its identifier). Otherwise, the object in
the hash table is used.

The hash is "one-way": objects added to it are never deleted until the
hash it discarded. The hash is discarded at the end of checkpoint or
restart, whether successful or not.

The hash keeps a reference to every object that is added to it, matching
the object's type, and maintains this reference during its lifetime.
Therefore, it is always safe to use an object that is stored in the hash.

Changelog[v13]:
  - Use hash_long() with 'unsigned long' cast to support 64bit archs
    (Nathan Lynch <ntl@...ox.com>)

Changelog[v11]:
  - Doc: be explicit about grabbing a reference and object lifetime

Changelog[v4]:
  - Fix calculation of hash table size

Changelog[v3]:
  - Use standard hlist_... for hash table
