    microkernel: deprecate task IRQs

    This mechanism does not add enough value to the kernel to be worth
    maintaining it. Drivers that need deferred processing of interrupts
    can simply define their own task and have the interrupt handler
    release an event that the task waits on.

    The API is marked as deprecated and it is removed from unit test
    coverage as well as the documentation.

5. A kernel-supplied ISR can signal a helper task to do interrupt-related work
using a task IRQ that the helper task allocates.
See :ref:`microkernel_task_irqs`.
When an ISR offloads work to a fiber there is typically a single
context switch to that fiber when the ISR completes.
Thus, interrupt-related processing usually continues almost immediately.
