kernel: stat/fsstat/isatty syscalls, and O_APPEND
Four things userland had no way to ask for: - SYS_STAT: type, link count, size and inode for a path. The trap needs HL for its dispatch table, so a call taking both a path and an output buffer passes a request block - the shape SYS_NET already established. usr/stat.h wraps it, header-only like sock.h, because the block must live in the caller's RAM. - SYS_FSSTAT: blocks/inodes, total and free. The bitmaps are already cached write-through in fs_bmbuf, so this is the popcount boot_fs already prints. - SYS_ISATTY: is this process's stdin the console? The shell needs it to tell an interactive session from a script. - O_APPEND: open a file positioned at EOF. There is no seek syscall, so this is the only way to add to a file - without it nothing running ON the Game Boy can build a multi-line file, shell scripts included. Together these back ls -l, df, and `>>`.
