Task state information is no longer manually saved on context switch.

Since the kernel now has it's own stack unique to each address space, we
can now rely on hardware task switching to *also* save the task states.

To accomplish this, most of the code in switch_to() has been elimated.
This includes; the clearing of the busy flag in the old TSS on each
switch, setting the TR register to null prior to each switch and calling
save_state() (which has also been removed entirely), to copy the state
information.

Modified the for loop in reschedule() to account for the fact that the
switch_to() function may now return (which it *always* does when
returning to the task). For the same reason, switch_to() must also be
careful to preserve registers such as EBX and actually make a return
following the far jump.

Added basic definitions for task states in sched.h. These are; running,
interruptible, uninterruptible, zombie and stopped. These states will
(possibly) be used in the future to implement blocking system calls.
