loader: rework process model
Originally we had several loader processes so that the loader did not need asynchronity for loading several buffers at once. Since then, the scope of what loader does has been reduced significantly, and with that loader has become mostly asynchronous. This patch finishes the above work as follows: * We only fork a single loader process for the browser. It is a waste of resources to do otherwise, and would have made future work on a download manager very difficult. * loader becomes (almost) fully async. Now the only sync part is a) processing commands and b) waiting for clients to consume responses. b) is a bit more problematic than a), but should not cause problems unless some other horrible bug exists in a client. (TODO: make it fully async.) This gives us a noticable improvement in CSS loading speed, since all resources can now be queried at once (even before the previous ones are connected). * Buffers now only get processes when the *connection* is finished. So headers, status code, etc. are handled by the client, and the buffer is forked when the loader starts streaming the response body. As a result, mailcap entries can simply dup2 the first UNIX domain socket connection as their stdin. This allows us to remove the ugly (and slow) `canredir' hack, which required us to send file handles on a tour accross the entire codebase. * The "cache" has been reworked somewhat: - Since canredir is gone, buffer-level requests usually start in a suspended state, and are explicitly resumed only after the client could decide whether it wants to cache the response. - Instead of a flag on Request and the URL as the cache key, we now use a global counter and the special `cache:' scheme. * misc fixes: referer_from is now actually respected by buffers (not just the pager), load info display should work slightly better, etc.
