This commit renames the Kconfig `FP_SHARING` symbol to `FPU_SHARING`,
since this symbol specifically refers to the hardware FPU sharing
support by means of FPU context preservation, and the "FP" prefix is
not fully descriptive of that; leaving room for ambiguity.

This commit renames the Kconfig `FLOAT` symbol to `FPU`, since this
symbol only indicates that the hardware Floating Point Unit (FPU) is
used and does not imply and/or indicate the general availability of
toolchain-level floating point support (i.e. this symbol is not
selected when building for an FPU-less platform that supports floating
point operations through the toolchain-provided software floating point
library).
Moreover, given that the symbol that indicates the availability of FPU
is named `CPU_HAS_FPU`, it only makes sense to use "FPU" in the name of
the symbol that enables the FPU.

k_poll() for a signal is often desired for notification of completion
of asynchronous operations, but there are APIs where it may be
necessary to invoke "asynchronous" operations from contexts where
sleep is disallowed, or before the kernel has been initialized.
Extract the general notification solution from the on-off service into
a utility that can be used for other APIs.
Also move documentation out to a resource management section.

k_cpu_idle() API does not need to be invoked with interrupts
unlocked; it is actually invoked with interrupts locked by
the kernel CPU idling mechanism. In most architectures, the
function is, actually, un-locking interrupts itself. We need
to remove this comment from the documentation of the CPU
idle API. We add a note about the un-locking of interrupts.

There are various situations where it's necessary to support turning
devices on or off at runtime, includin power rails, clocks, other
peripherals, and binary device power management. The complexity of
properly managing multiple consumers of a device in a multithreaded
system suggests that a shared implementation is desirable. This
commit provides an API that supports managing on-off resources.

The k_stack data type cannot be u32_t on a 64-bit system as it is
often used to store pointers. Let's define a dedicated type for stack
data values, namely stack_data_t, which can be adjusted accordingly.
For now it is defined to uintptr_t which is the integer type large
enough to hold a pointer, meaning it is equivalent to u32_t on 32-bit
systems and u64_t on 64-bit systems.
