A variety of tweaks to the NVIF library interfaces, mostly ripping out
things that turned out to be not so useful.
- Removed refcounting from nvif_object, callers are expected to not be
stupid instead.
- nvif_client is directly reachable from anything derived from nvif_object,
removing the need for heuristics to locate it
- _new() versions of interfaces, that allocate memory for the object
they construct, have been removed. The vast majority of callers used
the embedded _init() interfaces.
- No longer storing constructor arguments (and the data returned from
nvkm) inside nvif_object, it's more or less unused and just wastes
memory.

The symlinks were annoying some people, and they're not used anywhere
else in the kernel tree. The include directory structure has been
changed so that symlinks aren't needed anymore.
NVKM has been moved from core/ to nvkm/ to make it more obvious as to
what the directory is for, and as some minor prep for when NVKM gets
split out into its own module (virt) at a later date.

Reported by Coverity. The intention is that the return value is
checked, but let's be more paranoid and make it extremely obvious
if something forgets to.

This is a wrapper around the interfaces defined in an earlier commit,
and is also used by various userspace (either by a libdrm backend, or
libpciaccess) tools/tests.
In the future this will be extended to handle channels, replacing some
long-unloved code we currently use, and allow fifo/display/mpeg (hi
Ilia ;)) engines to all be exposed in the same way.
