Disabling SMP mode for certain tests was a one-release thing, done to
avoid having to triage every test independently (MANY are not
SMP-safe), and with the knowledge that it was probably hiding bugs in
the kernel.
Turn it on pervasively. Tests are treated with a combination of
flagging specific cases as "1cpu" where we have short-running tests
that can be independently run in an otherwise SMP environment, and via
setting CONFIG_MP_NUM_CPUS=1 where that's not possible (which still
runs the full SMP kernel config, but with only one CPU available).

This test was written to assume ~100 Hz ticks in ways that are
difficult to fix. It wants to sleep for periods on the order of the
TICKLESS_IDLE_THRESH kconfig, which is extremely small on high tick
rate systems and (on nRF in particular) does not have a cleanly
divisible representation in milliseconds.
Fixing precision issues by cranking the idle threshold up on a
per-system basis seems like an abuse, as that is what we want to be
testing in the first place. Just let the test run at the tick rate it
has always expected.

(Chunk 3 of 3 - this patch was split across pull requests to address
CI build time limitations)
Zephyr has always been a uniprocessor system, and its kernel tests are
rife with assumptions and outright dependence on single-CPU operation
(for example: "low priority threads will never run until this high
priority thread blocks" -- not true if there's another processor to
run it!)
About 1/3 of our tests fail right now on x86_64 when dual processor
operation is made default. Most of those can probably be recovered on
a case-by-case basis with simple changes (and a few of them might
represent real bugs in SMP!), but for now let's make sure the full
test suite passes by turning the second CPU off. There's still plenty
of SMP coverage in the remaining cases.

System Power Management is only supported in Tickless Idle mode.
This patch modifies Kconfig dependencies to ensure System Power
Management option selects Tickless Idle one.
Fixes: #11046
Signed-off-by: Piotr Mienkowski <piotr.mienkowski@gmail.com>
Added test cases to verify tickless idle concepts defined in
https://www.zephyrproject.org/doc/subsystems/power_management.html#tickless-idle
Test points:
verify system clock recovery after exiting tickless idle;
verify slicing scheduler behaves as expected
