Update the 64bit RPC ABI to be simpler
* Make full use of the 8 bytes available in mach_msg_type_t by moving
into the unused 4 bytes. This allows us to use 32bits for
mach_msg_type_number_t whether we use the longform or not.
* Make mach_msg_type_long_t exactly the same as mach_msg_type_t.
Updating MiG is strongly encouraged since it will generate better code
to handle this new format.
After this change, any compatibility with compiled binaries for Hurd x86_64
will break since the message format is different. However, the new
schema simplifies the overall ABI, without having "holes" and also
avoids the need to have a 16 byte mach_msg_type_long_t.
Was able to boot a basic system up to a bash shell.
