Provide "dumpHeapInstances" for iterating over type statistics
of heaps. This can be used to present structured heap information
as an alternative to "dumpNumberOfInstances".
* fixes#7833; still to-do: fix setLen
* make tests green again
* also fixes setLen and string concats; refs #7833
* change formating to avoid a compiler warning
* emit the write barrier also for addChar
* fixes yet another regression

Rewrite the memory management code for Nintendo Switch
The first implementation was naive and did not account for multiple
memory allocations. However, this implementation may still be
incomplete. Currently, when running applications, the code runs fine.
When the application is exited via code (the end of the program is
reached or quit() is called), the Switch will crash. Not sure why this
happens, but I suspect it is from Nim memory allocations.
I suspect the memory allocations because when I compile the helloworld
application without any Nim allocations (just C function calls) and use
`--gc:none` as a compile option, the application exits fine.

Add a 'GenodeEnv' type and a 'componentConstructHook' to the system
module. The 'componentConstructHook' allows for detection of POSIX style
programs that exit implicitly or native Genode components that
initialize to serve RPC requests and OS signals.
This hook takes a 'GenodeEnv' argument so that the environment interface
is passed cleanly to application code after globals are initialized.
This is an typed pointer to a C++ object, procedures for accessing the
environment will be available from a Nimble library and not included in
the standard library.
The standard library has an internal pointer to the environment object
but this is not for external use, the undocumented global environment
pointer has been removed.
