Work in progress:
* added [un]publish_device() calls to the device manager.
* added a very basic devfs emulation to the playground to be able to test how
the manager reacts to opened devices.
* renamed *_device() functions to *_node() in the device manager API.
* made B_DEVICE_FIND_CHILD_FLAGS a generic flags field, and renamed it to
B_DEVICE_FLAGS.
* added support for keeping a driver loaded as long as its device is available.
* implemented get_next_child_node().
* added test for device removal, and implemented unregister_node() for this.
* fixed some bugs in the device node reference/initialization count maintenance.
* moved more code from register_node() to device_node::Register().
* initialize the device_node::fFlags member to the value of B_DEVICE_FLAGS, and
have additional private flags.
* renamed UninitUnusedChildren() to UninitUnusedDriver(), and fixed this
function by adding the new flag NODE_FLAG_REGISTER_INITIALIZED.
* Now remembers the support when a driver is registered - this will be used
later to be able to compare with a new driver without having to call
supports_device() again.
* Removed NODE_FLAG_REMOVE_ON_UNINIT again, as that was pretty stupid - there
is reference counting for a reason.

Some more changes towards a working prototype:
* The "net" driver is now also loaded.
* The node tree is now dumped.
* If registering fails, the node is now removed from its parent again
(for now, correct would be to release it).
* device_node::_RegisterDynamic() now also checks for the driver path.
* _RegisterFixed() no longer calls supports_device() - since it has been
directly specified, we will assume the user knows what he is doing.

* Started playground for the new device manager. This will eventually evolve
into the full thing, and will then be adapted to the kernel.
* Doesn't do a lot at this point - it can be built as a test app under BeOS
and Haiku.
