Previously, context switching on x86 with memory protection
enabled involved walking the page tables, de-configuring all
the partitions in the outgoing thread's memory domain, and
then configuring all the partitions in the incoming thread's
domain, on a global set of page tables.
We now have a much faster design. Each thread has reserved in
its stack object a number of pages to store page directories
and page tables pertaining to the system RAM area. Each
thread also has a toplevel PDPT which is configured to use
the per-thread tables for system RAM, and the global tables
for the rest of the address space.
The result of this is on context switch, at most we just have
to update the CR3 register to the incoming thread's PDPT.
The x86_mmu_api test was making too many assumptions and has
been adjusted to work with the new design.

The current API was assuming too much, in that it expected that
arch-specific memory domain configuration is only maintained
in some global area, and updates to domains that are not currently
active have no effect.
This was true when all memory domain state was tracked in page
tables or MPU registers, but no longer works when arch-specific
memory management information is stored in thread-specific areas.
This is needed for: #13441#13074#15135

Currently page tables have to be re-computed in
an expensive operation on context switch. Here we
reserve some room in the page tables such that
we can have per-thread page table data, which will
be much simpler to update on context switch at
the expense of memory.

Has the same effect of catching stack overflows, but
makes debugging with GDB simpler since we won't get
errors when inspecting such regions. Making these
areas non-present was more than we needed, read-only
is sufficient.

It looks like, at some point in the past, initializing thread stacks
was the responsibility of the arch layer. After that was centralized,
we forgot to remove the related conditional header inclusion. Fixed.

* z_NanoFatalErrorHandler() is now moved to common kernel code
and renamed z_fatal_error(). Arches dump arch-specific info
before calling.
* z_SysFatalErrorHandler() is now moved to common kernel code
and renamed k_sys_fatal_error_handler(). It is now much simpler;
the default policy is simply to lock interrupts and halt the system.
If an implementation of this function returns, then the currently
running thread is aborted.
* New arch-specific APIs introduced:
- z_arch_system_halt() simply powers off or halts the system.
* We now have a standard set of fatal exception reason codes,
namespaced under K_ERR_*
* CONFIG_SIMPLE_FATAL_ERROR_HANDLER deleted
* LOG_PANIC() calls moved to k_sys_fatal_error_handler()

Before, attempting to induce a kernel oops would instead
lead to a general protection fault as the interrupt vector
was at DPL=0.
Now we allow by setting DPL=3. We restrict the allowable
reason codes to either stack overflows or kernel oops; we
don't want user mode to be able to create a kernel panic,
or fake some other kind of exception.
Fixes an issue where the stack canary test case was triggering
a GPF instead of a stack check exception on x86.

For the x86 architecture the z_arch_float_disable() is only
implemented when building with CONFIG_LAZY_FP_SHARING, so we
make z_arch_float_disable() return -ENOSYS when we build with
FLOAT and FP_SHARING but on an x86 platform where
LAZY_FP_SHARING is not supported.
