Liav A 9eb08bdb0f Kernel: Make major and minor numbers to be DistinctNumerics
This helps avoid confusion in general, and make constructors, methods
and code patterns much more clean and understandable.

Brian Gianforcaro 1682f0b760 Everything: Move to SPDX license identifiers in all files.
SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

See: https://spdx.dev/resources/use/#identifiers

This was done with the `ambr` search and replace tool.

Liav A 8e3e3a71cb Kernel: Introduce a new HID subsystem
The end goal of this commit is to allow to boot on bare metal with no
PS/2 device connected to the system. It turned out that the original
code relied on the existence of the PS/2 keyboard, so VirtualConsole
called it even though ACPI indicated the there's no i8042 controller on
my real machine because I didn't plug any PS/2 device.
The code is much more flexible, so adding HID support for other type of
hardware (e.g. USB HID) could be much simpler.

Briefly describing the change, we have a new singleton called
HIDManagement, which is responsible to initialize the i8042 controller
if exists, and to enumerate its devices. I also abstracted a bit
things, so now every Human interface device is represented with the
HIDDevice class. Then, there are 2 types of it - the MouseDevice and
KeyboardDevice classes; both are responsible to handle the interface in
the DevFS.

PS2KeyboardDevice, PS2MouseDevice and VMWareMouseDevice classes are
responsible for handling the hardware-specific interface they are
assigned to. Therefore, they are inheriting from the IRQHandler class.
