cinap_lenrek c2297ce5c1 kernel: use 64-bit virtual entry point for expanded header, document behaviour in a.out(6)
For 64-bit architectures, the a.out header has the HDR_MAGIC flag set
in the magic and is expanded by 8 bytes containing the 64-bit virtual
address of the programs entry point. While Exec.entry contains physical
address for kernel images.

Our sysexec() would always use Exec.entry, even for 64-bit a.out binaries,
which worked because PADDR(entry) == entry for userspace pointers.

This change fixes it, having the kernel use the 64-bit entry point
and document the behaviour in the manpage.

cinap_lenrek 7f3659e78f kernel: cleanup exit()/shutdown()/reboot() code
introduce cpushutdown() function that does the common
operation of initiating shutdown, returning once all
cpu's got the message and are about to shutdown. this
avoids duplicated code which isnt really machine specific.

automatic reboot on panic only when *debug= is not set
and the machine is a cpu server or has no display,
otherwise just hang.
