sys::perm service

The sys::perm service is used to manage the privileges of users and the permissions of processes.

The purpose of user privileges

In NightOS, executable instructions can run in three different contexts:

• In applications
• In system services
• In the kernel itself

The kernel doesn't have any limitation on what tasks it is allowed to perform, of course, as it is the one to decide.
System services communicate directly with the kernel and are trusted processes so they can do anything in their domain, which means for instance the sys::net cannot ask to manipulate the filesystem, as it's the role of sys::fs.

But applications, who run userland processes
