Cleanup and preparation commit for linker script generator.
Zephyr linker scripts provides start and end symbols for each larger
areas in the linker script.
The symbols _image_text_start and _image_text_end sometimes includes
linker/kobject-text.ld. This mean there must be both the regular
__text_start and __text_end symbols for the pure text section, as well
as <group>_start and <group>_end symbols.
The symbols describing the text region which covers more than just the
text section itself will thus be changed to:
_image_text_start -> __text_region_start
_image_text_end -> __text_region_end

Cleanup and preparation commit for linker script generator.
Zephyr linker scripts provides start and end symbols for each larger
areas in the linker script.
The symbols _image_rom_start and _image_rom_end corresponds to the group
ROMABLE_REGION defined in the ld linker scripts.
The symbols _image_rodata_start and _image_rodata_end is not placed as
independent group but covers common-rom.ld, thread-local-storage.ld,
kobject-rom.ld and snippets-rodata.ld.
This commit align those names and prepares for generation of groups in
linker scripts.
The symbols describing the ROMABLE_REGION will be renamed to:
_image_rom_start -> __rom_region_start
_image_rom_end -> __rom_region_end
The rodata will also use the group symbol notation as:
_image_rodata_start -> __rodata_region_start
_image_rodata_end -> __rodata_region_end

When converting the address and size arguments for extra mappings,
the script assumes they are always base 16. This is not always
the case. So let Python's own int() decides how to interpret
the values as it supports "0x" prefix also.

With demand paging, it is possible for data pages to not be
present in physical memory. The gen_mmu.py script is updated
so that, if so desired, the generic sections are marked
non-present so the paging mechanism can bring them in
if needed.

There was a restriction that KERNEL_VM_OFFSET must equal to
SRAM_OFFSET so that page directory pointer (PDP) or page
directory (PD) can be reused. This is not very practical in
real world due to various hardware designs, especially those
where SRAM is not aligned to PDP or PD. So rework those bits.

This unifies all the display of region size in hex.
Some of them are there to aid in figuring out the end of
a memory region so it is easier if they are already in hex.
This also fixes the display of address range where the end
is off by one and should be (base + size - 1).

This reuses the page directory pointer table (PAE=y) or page
directory (PAE=n) to point to next level page directory table
(PAE=y) or page tables (PAE=n) to identity map the physical
memory. This gets rid of the extra memory needed to host
the extra mappings which are only used at boot. Following
patches will have code to actual unmap physical memory
during the boot process, so this avoids some wasting of
memory.
Since no extra memory needs to be reserved, this also reverts

There is no need to use this kconfig, as the phys-to-virt
offset is enough to figure out if the kernel is linked in
virtual address space in gen_mmu.py.

When linking in virtual address space, we still need physical
addressed in SRAM to be mapped so platform can boot from physical
memory and to access structure necessary for boot (e.g. GDT and
IDT). So identity maps the kernel in SRAM.

There is an assumption made in the page table generation code
that the kernel would occupy the same physical and virtual
addresses. However, we may want to map the kernel into
a virtual address space which differs from kernel's physical
address space. For example, with demand paging enabled on
kernel code and data, we can accommodate kernel that is
larger than physical memory size, and may want to utilize
a bigger virtual address space. So add address translation
in the gen_mmu.py script for this.

This adds a new GEN_ABSOLUTE_SYM_KCONFIG() specifically for
generating absolute symbols in assembly for kconfig values.
This is needed as the existing GEN_ABSOLUTE_SYM() with
constraints in extended assembly parses the "value" as
signed 32-bit integers. An unsigned 32-bit integer with
MSB set results in a negative number in the final binary.
This also prevents integers larger than 32-bit. So this
new macro simply puts the value inline within the assembly
instrcution instead of having it as parameter.

We no longer use a page pool to draw memory pages when doing
memory map operations. We now preallocate the entire virtual
address space so no allocations are ever necessary when mapping
memory.
We still need memory to clone page tables, but this is now
expressed by a new Kconfig X86_MAX_ADDITIONAL_MEM_DOMAINS
which has much clearer semantics than specifying the number
of pages in the pool.
The default address space size is now 8MB, but this can be
tuned by the application.

Page table management for x86 is being revised such that there
will not in many cases be a pristine, master set of page tables.
Instead, when mapping memory, use unused PTE bits to store the
original RW, US, and XD settings when the mapping was made.
This will allow memory domains to alter page tables while still
being able to restore the original mapping permissions.

We no longer plan to support a split address space with
the kernel in high memory and per-process address spaces.
Because of this, we can simplify some things. System RAM
is now always identity mapped at boot.
We no longer require any virtual-to-physical translation
for page tables, and can remove the dual-mapping logic
from the page table generation script since we won't need
to transition the instruction point off of physical
addresses.
CONFIG_KERNEL_VM_BASE and CONFIG_KERNEL_VM_LIMIT
have been removed. The kernel's address space always
starts at CONFIG_SRAM_BASE_ADDRESS, of a fixed size
specified by CONFIG_KERNEL_VM_SIZE.
Driver MMIOs and other uses of k_mem_map() are still
virtually mapped, and the later introduction of demand
paging will result in only a subset of system RAM being
a fixed identity mapping instead of all of it.

It implements gdb remote protocol to talk with a host gdb during the
debug session. The implementation is divided in three layers:
1 - The top layer that is responsible for the gdb remote protocol.
2 - An architecture specific layer responsible to write/read registers,
set breakpoints, handle exceptions, ...
3 - A transport layer to be used to communicate with the host
The communication with GDB in the host is synchronous and the systems
stops execution waiting for instructions and return its execution after
a "continue" or "step" command. The protocol has an exception that is
when the host sends a packet to cause an interruption, usually triggered
by a Ctrl-C. This implementation ignores this instruction though.
This initial work supports only X86 using uart as backend.
