This is a complete rewrite of Nachos (Not another completely heuristical operating system) hosted

at [nachos](https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~tom/nachos/).

Golang specific code:

* Thread forking - thread forking was initially carried out via assembly code which used to save

  context of current thread and switch to the other thread. I have modified it to use channels

  instead where a thread only runs when its channel is active. This would also enable implementing

  multi-threading if one really wants to try that on nachos.

This code is at a stage where none of the syscalls are implemented (which itself is a good exercise for

understanding the nachos code).
