This matches our common naming style better.

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 9dc8bea3e7 Kernel: Allow to boot from a partition with partition UUID
Instead of specifying the boot argument to be root=/dev/hdXY, now
one can write root=PARTUUID= with the right UUID, and if the partition
is found, the kernel will boot from it.

This feature is mainly used with GUID partitions, and is considered to
be the most reliable way for the kernel to identify partitions.

Liav A 72b1998f0d Kernel: Introduce a new partitioning subsystem
The partitioning code was very outdated, and required a full refactor.
The new subsystem removes duplicated code and uses more AK containers.

The most important change is that all implementations of the
PartitionTable class conform to one interface, which made it possible
to remove unnecessary code in the EBRPartitionTable class.

Finding partitions is now done in the StorageManagement singleton,
instead of doing so in init.cpp.

Also, now we don't try to find partitions on demand - the kernel will
try to detect if a StorageDevice is partitioned, and if so, will check
what is the partition table, which could be MBR, GUID or EBR.
Then, it will create DiskPartitionMetadata object for each partition
that is available in the partition table. This object will be used
by the partition enumeration code to create a DiskPartition with the
correct minor number.

Liav A 469f20d4ee Kernel: Introduce the StorageManagement class
The StorageManagement class has 2 roles:
1. During boot, it should find all storage controllers in the machine,
and then determine what is the boot device.
2. Later on boot, it is a registrar of all storage controllers and
storage devices. Thus, it could be used to show information about these
devices when implemented.

This change allows the user to specify a boot driver other than /dev/hda
and if it's connected in the machine - it will boot.
