Big commit: Added symlink support to the kernel.

- added needed syscalls to access symlink support from userland
- implemented lstat(), symlink(), and readlink()
- added dev_t to ktypes.h (for now - should be in a public header anyway)
- added symlink support to the "ls" command (now calls lstat() and shows the
  link target with the -l option)
- changed the sys_read_stat() call to support symlinks, and updated files
  using that function (it gets an extra argument: bool traverseLink)
