Roy Scheefhals 1058ea986a Changed the parameter 'char * data' of process_start to the
type process_data_t. This was an artifact when the choice was
made to use the void * type for the data parameter in processes.

Changed parameter 'void * data' of process_post_synch to
process_data_t for consistency.

Checked all the uses of process_start() in contiki and fixed casts
of the data parameter.
