ipc_service: Extend API with nocopy functions

Add several new functions to the IPC service API:
  - ipc_service_get_tx_buffer()
  - ipc_service_drop_tx_buffer()
  - ipc_service_send_nocopy()
  - ipc_service_release_rx_buffer()
  - ipc_service_hold_rx_buffer()

This set of function is used to support backends with nocopy capability.

*
* This function can be called to get an empty TX buffer so that the
* application can directly put its data into the sending buffer without copy
* from an application buffer.
*
* It is the application responsibility to correctly fill the allocated TX
* buffer with data and passing correct parameters to @ref
* ipc_service_send_nocopy function to perform data no-copy-send mechanism.
*
* The size parameter can be used to request a buffer with a certain size:
* - if the size can be accommodated the function returns no errors and the
* buffer is allocated
* - if the requested size is too big, the function returns -ENOMEM and the
* the buffer is not allocated.
* - if the requested size is '0' the buffer is allocated with the maximum
* allowed size.
*
* In all the cases on return the size parameter contains the maximum size for
* the returned buffer.
*
* When the function returns no errors, the buffer is intended as allocated
* and it is released under two conditions: (1) when sending the buffer using
* @ref ipc_service_send_nocopy (and in this case the buffer is automatically
* released by the backend), (2) when using @ref ipc_service_drop_tx_buffer on
* a buffer not sent.
*
* @param[in] ept Registered endpoint by @ref ipc_service_register_endpoint.
* @param[out] data Pointer to the empty TX buffer.
* @param[in,out] size Pointer to store the requested TX buffer size. If the
* function returns -ENOMEM, this parameter returns the
* maximum allowed size.
* @param[in] wait Timeout waiting for an available TX buffer.
*
* @retval -EIO when no backend is registered or send hook is missing from
* backend.
* @retval -EINVAL when instance or endpoint is invalid.
* @retval -ENOTSUP when the operation or the timeout is not supported by backend.
* @retval -ENOBUFS when there are no TX buffers available.
* @retval -EALREADY when a buffer was already claimed and not yet released.
* @retval -ENOMEM when the requested size is too big (and the size parameter
* contains the maximum allowed size).
