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 namespace of NVKM is being changed to nvkm_ instead of nouveau_,
which will be used for the DRM part of the driver. This is being
done in order to make it very clear as to what part of the driver a
given symbol belongs to, and as a minor step towards splitting the
DRM driver out to be able to stand on its own (for virt).
Because there's already a large amount of churn here anyway, this is
as good a time as any to also switch to NVIDIA's device and chipset
naming to ease collaboration with them.
A comparison of objdump disassemblies proves no code changes.

NVKM is having it's namespace switched to nvkm_, which will conflict
with these functions (which are workarounds for the fact that as of
yet, we still aren't able to split DRM and NVKM completely).

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.
