irq_offload: API to run a function in IRQ context

Software interrupts or system calls aren't really appropriate for
zephyr, but we have an ongoing need in our test code to run a
function with arguments synchronously in interrupt context.

This patch introduces irq_offload() which allows us to do this without
separate initialization or having to manage fake IRQs in the
interrupt controller.

ARM assembly code contributed by Benjamin Walsh
<benjamin.walsh@windriver.com>

ARC is not yet implemented but will be in a subsequent patch.

irq_test_common.h has been removed and all test cases updated to
use the new API.
