3edc6ae0d6 Kernel/Devices: Improve construction paths semantically
Do this by:
- Removing more instances of `LockRefPtr` and `NonnullLockRefPtr`.
- Using better names of construction methods (i.e. `create` instead of
  `try_create`).
- Only returning `NonnullRefPtr` on the `Device::try_create_device`
  method.
- Removing a version of the `Device::try_create_device` method that
  called `DeviceType::try_create(forward<Args>(args)...)`, which was
  only used in a construction point in a VirtIO driver which now doesn't
  need this anymore.

96e1391c23 Kernel/Devices: Remove the DeviceManagement singleton
This change has many improvements:
- We don't use `LockRefPtr` to hold instances of many base devices as
  with the DeviceManagement class. Instead, we have a saner pattern of
  holding them in a `NonnullRefPtr<T> const`, in a small-text footprint
  class definition in the `Device.cpp` file.
- The awkwardness of using `::the()` each time we need to get references
  to mostly-static objects (like the Event queue) in runtime is now gone
  in the migration to using the `Device` class.
- Acquiring a device feel more obvious because we use now the Device
  class for this method. The method name is improved as well.

16244c490a Kernel: Allocate all device major numbers within one known header file
We used to allocate major numbers quite randomly, with no common place
to look them up if needed.
This commit is changing that by placing all major number allocations
under a new C++ namespace, in the API/MajorNumberAllocation.h file.

We also add the foundations of what is needed before we can publish this
information (allocated numbers for block and char devices) to userspace.
