unified/arm: add unified kernel support for ARM arch

The ARM architecture port is fitted with support for the unified kernel,
namely:

- the interrupt/exception exit code now pends PendSV if the current
  thread is not a coop thread and if the scheduler is not locked

- fiber_abort is replaced by k_thread_abort(), which takes a thread ID
  as a parameter (i.e. does not only operate on the current thread)

- the _nanokernel.flags cache of _current.flags is not used anymore
  (could be a source of bugs) and is not needed in the scheduling algo

- there is no 'task' field in the _nanokernel anymore: PendSV not calls
  _get_next_ready_thread instead

- the _nanokernel.fiber field is replaced by a more sophisticated
  ready_q, based on the microkernel's priority-bitmap-based one

- thread initialization initializes new fields in the tcs, and does not
  initialize obsolete ones

- nano_private includes nano_internal.h from the unified directory

- The FIBER, TASK and PREEMPTIBLE flags do not exist anymore: the thread
  priority drives the behaviour

- the tcs uses a dlist for queuing in both ready and wait queues instead
  of a custom singly-linked list

- other new fields in the tcs include a schedule-lock count, a
  back-pointer to init data (when the task is static) and a pointer to
  swap data, needed when a thread pending on _Swap() must be passed more
  then just one value (e.g. k_stack_pop() needs an error code and data)

- the 'fiber' and 'task' fields of _nanokernel are replaced with an O(1)
  ready queue (taken from the microkernel)

- fiberRtnValueSet() is aliased to _set_thread_return_value since it
  also operates on preempt threads now

- _set_thread_return_value_with_data() sets the swap_data field in
  addition to a return value from _Swap()

- convenience aliases are created for shorter names:

  - _current is defined as _nanokernel.current
  - _ready_q is defined as _nanokernel.ready_q

- _Swap() sets the threads's return code to -EAGAIN before swapping out
  to prevent timeouts to have to set it (solves hard issues in some
  kernel objects).
