Nobody tests this network card as the person who added it, Jean-Baptiste
Boric (known as boricj) is not an active contributor in the project now.
After a discussion with him on the Discord server, we agreed it's for
the best to remove the driver, as for two reasons:
- The original author (boricj) agreed to do this, stating that he will
not be able to test the driver anymore after his Athlon XP machine is
no longer supported after the removal of the i686 port.
- It was agreed that the NE2000 network card family is far from the
ideal hardware we would want to support, similarly to the RTL8139 that
got removed recently for almost the same reason.

Instead of using a clunky if-statement paradigm, we now have all drivers
being declaring two methods for their adapter class - create and probe.
These methods are linked in each PCINetworkDriverInitializer structure,
in a new s_initializers static list of them.
Then, when we probe for a PCI device, we use each probe method and if
there's a match, then the corresponding create method is called. After
the adapter instance is created, we call the virtual initialize method
on it, because many drivers actually require a sort of post-construction
initialization sequence to ensure the network adapter can properly
function.
As a result of this change, it's much more easy to add more drivers and
the initialization code is more readable and it's easier to understand
when and where things could fail in the whole initialization sequence.

A virtual method named device_name() was added to
Kernel::PCI to support logging the PCI::Device name
and address using dmesgln_pci. Previously, PCI::Device
did not store the device name.
All devices inheriting from PCI::Device now use dmesgln_pci where
they previously used dmesgln.

When scanning for network adapters, we give each driver a chance to
claim the PCI device and whoever claims it first gets to keep it.
Before this patch, the driver API returned a LockRefPtr<AdapterType>,
which made it impossible to propagate errors that occurred during
detection and/or initialization.
This patch changes the API so that errors can bubble all the way out
the PCI enumeration in NetworkingManagement::initialize() where we
perform all the network adapter auto-detection on boot.
When we eventually start to support hot-plugging network adapter in the
future, it will be even more important to propagate errors instead of
swallowing them.
Importantly, before this patch, some errors were "handled" by panicking
the kernel. This is no longer the case.
7 FIXMEs were killed in the making of this commit. :^)

This class is intended to replace all IOAddress usages in the Kernel
codebase altogether. The idea is to ensure IO can be done in
arch-specific manner that is determined mostly in compile-time, but to
still be able to use most of the Kernel code in non-x86 builds. Specific
devices that rely on x86-specific IO instructions are already placed in
the Arch/x86 directory and are omitted for non-x86 builds.
The reason this works so well is the fact that x86 IO space acts in a
similar fashion to the traditional memory space being available in most
CPU architectures - the x86 IO space is essentially just an array of
bytes like the physical memory address space, but requires x86 IO
instructions to load and store data. Therefore, many devices allow host
software to interact with the hardware registers in both ways, with a
noticeable trend even in the modern x86 hardware to move away from the
old x86 IO space to exclusively using memory-mapped IO.
Therefore, the IOWindow class encapsulates both methods for x86 builds.
The idea is to allow PCI devices to be used in either way in x86 builds,
so when trying to map an IOWindow on a PCI BAR, the Kernel will try to
find the proper method being declared with the PCI BAR flags.
For old PCI hardware on non-x86 builds this might turn into a problem as
we can't use port mapped IO, so the Kernel will gracefully fail with
ENOTSUP error code if that's the case, as there's really nothing we can
do within such case.
For general IO, the read{8,16,32} and write{8,16,32} methods are
available as a convenient API for other places in the Kernel. There are
simply no direct 64-bit IO API methods yet, as it's not needed right now
and is not considered to be Arch-agnostic too - the x86 IO space doesn't
support generating 64 bit cycle on IO bus and instead requires two 2
32-bit accesses. If for whatever reason it appears to be necessary to do
IO in such manner, it could probably be added with some neat tricks to
do so. It is recommended to use Memory::TypedMapping struct if direct 64
bit IO is actually needed.

Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:
- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable
This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:
- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable
The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.

Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.

Apologies for the enormous commit, but I don't see a way to split this
up nicely. In the vast majority of cases it's a simple change. A few
extra places can use TRY instead of manual error checking though. :^)
