Differently from other libraries, which are included whole in the final
Zephyr ELF, libkernel.a itself isn't. Assuming this is intended to
enable optimisations (if it isn't, this patch will break things) - linker
can remove parts of the kernel that are not used by the application.
However, when considering Linkable Loadable Extensions (llext), this
optimisations can be counterproductive: for instance, syscalls that are
not used by the application won't be available for extensions. It won't
matter if someone "EXPORT_SYMBOL" for them, or even try to keep them
using LINKER_KEEP, they'll be gone.
To avoid that, this patches includes, when CONFIG_LLEXT=y, libkernel.a
inside the linker "whole-archive" block. This ends up making it consider
libkernel.a as a library whose all symbols should be kept. Note this
doesn't mean that all symbols will be there - things compiled out via
Kconfig will naturally still be out.

This commit updates the handling of board and SoC linker scripts.
Several SoCs creates a linker.ld file which sole purpose is to include
another arch common linker script, often with content like this:
#include <arch>/linker.ld
instead of 100+ SoC specific linker.ld files containing just a single
include line of above structure, then this commit introduces two now
CMake variables, BOARD_LINKER_SCRIPT and SOC_LINKER_SCRIPT.
This allows the board and SoC CMake code to point directly to a common
linker script instead of creating a dummy linker.ld file doing this.
This removes the need for several dummy linker.ld file.

Only include crtbegin.o and crtend.o when LIBGCC_DIR is defined.
Since LIBGCC_DIR is not defined when compiling for posix
architecture, crt{begin,end}.o cannot be referred to via
LIBGCC_DIR.
Also note that, when using llvm/clang, crt{begin,end}S.o are
automatically for native_posix which collide with symbols in
crt{begin,end}.o. So there is no point in making LIBGCC_DIR
available for native_posix under llvm/clang.

This adds a new output variable to FindGnuLd.cmake to indicate

preferred ld.bfd linker, it may not match using the existing

Fixes commit 7a85ff7683 ("add sparse support")
The sparse build needs (at least) two things:
1. sparse to be in the PATH
2. the environment variable REAL_CC to be defined and to match the
value expected by CMake
Fix error messages when either condition is wrong.
- New error message when 1. is not satisfied:
```
CMake Error at zephyr/cmake/compiler/gcc/target.cmake:12 (find_program):
Could not find CMAKE_C_COMPILER using the following names: cgcc
```

Note the "not found" cross-compiler actually exists!
- New error message when 2. is not satisfied:

CMake Error at ws/zephyr/cmake/compiler/gcc/target.cmake:25 (message):
The only way to override its 'cc' default when cross-compiling with
sparse is unfortunately an environment variable. So you _must_ set
REAL_CC at both configuration time and build time to:
$ZSDK/xtensa-intel_s1000_zephyr-elf/bin/xtensa-intel_s1000_zephyr-elf-gcc

Also: stop using the same name REAL_CC for both the internal CMake
variable and the external sparse parameter; they're two different
things so name them differently. Environment variable messes are
complicated enough.

To prepare for linker script creation with flexible number of linker
passes depending on system configuration then the Zephyr CMake linker
script generator has been updated to use pass names instead of pass
numbers.
This allows greater flexibility as a section can now be active based on
the settings on the pass and not the linking pass index number.
As part of this, the `PASS` processing in `linker_script_common.cmake`
has been adjusted so that it properly handles when a linking pass is
handling multiple settings, such as both `LINKER_APP_SMEM_UNALIGNED`
and `DEVICE_HANDLES_PASS1` in same linking pass.
As the number of linking passes are more flexible, then the PASS
argument in `zephyr_linker_section()` and
`zephyr_linker_section_configure()` has been updated to also support
a `NOT <name>` argument, for example: `PASS NOT LINKER_ZEPHYR_FINAL`.

Currently all calls to `configure_linker_script()` specifies `-D<name>`
when calling `configure_linker_script()`.
This works well for the gcc pre-processed ld linker script templates,
but Zephyr also supports a CMake linker script generator which can be
used for ld scripts and armlink scatter files.
In this case, a `-D` must be stripped.
This commit changes this so that Zephyr CMake build system calls
`configure_linker_script()` without `-D`.
Thus the `LINKER_SCRIPT` choice can decide how this information should
be passed to underlying linker script functionality, that is `-D` for
linker script template and CMake variable for the CMake linker script
generator.

A "Linker script" choice group has been added to the linker options
menu.
The existing HAVE_CUSTOM_LINKER_SCRIPT config has been relocated inside
the linker script menu.
Two new entries has been created:
- LD template, for using the old ld template files together with the C
pre-processor to create the final linker script.
- CMake linker generator, used for ARMClang / armlink toolchain.
The CMake linker generator is also supported for LD linker scripts
for the ARM architecture.
In CMake, the file cmake/linker/ld/target.cmake has been updated to
support the CMake LD linker generator.

The current gen_handles.py script uses linker defined symbols.
As preparation for support of more linkers the gen_tables.py now takes
the device start symbol as argument.
For example, armlink and ld uses different symbols.
With ld those can be named explicitly, but for armlink the linker
decides the names.
For ld, Zephyr defines: __device_start
For armlink, the symbol is defined as: Image$$<section name>$$Base
Therefore knowledge of the linker symbol to be used must be passed to
gen_handles.py so that the correct symbol can be used for locating
devices.
To support this change, the creation of the asm, compiler, compiler-cpp,
linker targets has been moved from target_toolchain_flags.cmake to
target_toolchain.cmake.
All linkers has been updated to support the use of the
device_start_symbol on the linker target.

This means that gcc will link using `/usr/bin/ld` per default.
If ld points to lld, then linking will fail.

The current zephyr_get_compile_<type> flags returns compile / include
flags based on generator expressions.
But they also included a space.
This have the unintended side-effect that when the properties are
fetched into another variable and later appended to lists in order to
finally be used in a CMake target function / custom command, then CMake
in some cases will quote the string, creating a quoted argument like:
"arg0 arg1 arg2: instead of individual arguments like: "arg0" "arg1"
"arg2".
By using $<SEMICOLON>, then arguments are seperated correctly.

This commit updates the get Zephyr settings functions to be able to
handle settings if those settings are expressed using a generator
expression.
As example, zephyr_get_include_directories_for_lang(...) would prefix
each include property of zephyr_interface with `-I`, like this:
Property: include;include/generated;lib/libc/minimal/include
becomes: `-Iinclude -Iinclude/generated -Ilib/libc/minimal/include`
But if the property contains a generator expression:
Property: include;$<TARGET_PROPERTY:compiler,some_include>
becomes: -Iinclude -I$<TARGET_PROPERTY:compiler,some_include>
and in case that property is a list, this results in:
`-Iinclude -Iinclude/list_item1;include/list_item2;include/list_itemN`
and thus breaking the build.
This is fixed by using `$<JOIN:<list>>` expression instead, which
ensures all list item, regardless of provided as simple list or through
the usage another generator expression, will always expand correctly.
Functions updated in the commit:
- zephyr_get_include_directories_for_lang
- zephyr_get_system_include_directories_for_lang
- zephyr_get_compile_definitions_for_lang
- zephyr_get_compile_options_for_lang

according to those changes.
