There was a somewhat promiscuous pattern in the kernel where IPC
mechanisms would do something that might effect the current thread
choice, then check _must_switch_threads() (or occasionally
__must_switch_threads -- don't ask, the distinction is being replaced
by real English words), sometimes _is_in_isr() (but not always, even
in contexts where that looks like it would be a mistake), and then
call _Swap() if everything is OK, otherwise releasing the irq_lock().
Sometimes this was done directly, sometimes via the inverted test,
sometimes (poll, heh) by doing the test when the thread state was
modified and then needlessly passing the result up the call stack to
the point of the _Swap().
And some places were just calling _reschedule_threads(), which did all
this already.
Unify all this madness. The old _reschedule_threads() function has
split into two variants: _reschedule_yield() and
_reschedule_noyield(). The latter is the "normal" one that respects
the cooperative priority of the current thread (i.e. it won't switch
out even if there is a higher priority thread ready -- the current
thread has to pend itself first), the former is used in the handful of
places where code was doing a swap unconditionally, just to preserve
precise behavior across the refactor. I'm not at all convinced it
should exist...

The xtensa-asm2 work included a patch that added nano_internal.h
includes in lots of places that needed to have _Swap defined, because
it had to break a cycle and this no longer got pulled in from the arch
headers.
Unfortunately those new includes created new and more amusing cycles
elsewhere which led to breakage on other platforms.
Break out the _Swap definition (only) into a separate header and use
that instead. Cleaner. Seems not to have any more hidden gotchas.

This feature is X86 only and is not used or being tested. It is legacy
feature and no one can prove it actually works. Remove it until we have
proper documentation and samples and multi architecture support.

Just some exclusions to coverage in code which cannot be

Some code in the POSIX architecture is only meant to handle
safely errors which should never occur and therefore
are not covered.
=> We exclude them from the coverage reports.

Some code in the POSIX arch core will only be executed
in some very atypical cases depending on the host load.
To avoid confusing developers, let's exclude it from the
coverage reports.

Rename the nano_internal.h to kernel_internal.h and modify the
header file name accordingly wherever it is used.

A new arch (posix) which relies on pthreads to emulate the context
switching
A new soc for it (inf_clock) which emulates a CPU running at an
infinely high clock (so when the CPU is awaken it runs till completion
in 0 time)
A new board, which provides a trivial system tick timer and
irq generation.
