* @brief Drop a thread's privileges permanently to user mode

* This allows a supervisor thread to be re-used as a user thread.
* This function does not return, but control will transfer to the provided
* entry point as if this was a new user thread.
*
* The implementation ensures that the stack buffer contents are erased.
* Any thread-local storage will be reverted to a pristine state.
*
* Memory domain membership, resource pool assignment, kernel object
* permissions, priority, and thread options are preserved.
*
* A common use of this function is to re-use the main thread as a user thread
* once all supervisor mode-only tasks have been completed.
