proc: call `startup_essential_task' earlier
Previously, the proc server did not call `startup_essential_task' until it got the message port of the startup server using `proc_setmsgport'. Now that we have `/servers/startup', we can do this in main, before we start our message service loop. A complication arises because the traditional startup server is single-threaded. Handle this by tweaking startup not to bind itself to `/servers/startup' before it is ready. * proc/main.c (main): Try to lookup `/servers/startup' and send the message here, or... * proc/msg.c (S_proc_setmsgport): ... fall back to the old way here. * proc/proc.h (startup_fallback): New variable. * startup/startup.c (main): Move code installing ourself on `/servers/startup' (install_as_translator): ... here. (launch_core_servers): And use it here, just before we reply to `/hurd/auth'.
