Reenix

This is the start of a unix like operating system written in Rust. It is based on the Weenix Operating system written for Brown's CS167/9. At the moment it supports a basic kernel shell, mutiple processes with waitpid, and writing to disk. This was written as part of my CS Senior Thesis. (To be posted soon).
