Introducing CMake is an important step in a larger effort to make
Zephyr easy to use for application developers working on different
platforms with different development environment needs.
Simplified, this change retains Kconfig as-is, and replaces all
Makefiles with CMakeLists.txt. The DSL-like Make language that KBuild
offers is replaced by a set of CMake extentions. These extentions have
either provided simple one-to-one translations of KBuild features or
introduced new concepts that replace KBuild concepts.
This is a breaking change for existing test infrastructure and build
scripts that are maintained out-of-tree. But for FW itself, no porting
should be necessary.
For users that just want to continue their work with minimal
disruption the following should suffice:
Install CMake 3.8.2+
Port any out-of-tree Makefiles to CMake.
Learn the absolute minimum about the new command line interface:
$ cd samples/hello_world
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DBOARD=nrf52_pca10040 ..
$ cd build
$ make

The alignment went off because of the move to use internal fixed-size
integer types (instead of standard int types).

Upcoming memory protection features will be placing some additional
constraints on kernel objects:
- They need to reside in memory owned by the kernel and not the
application
- Certain kernel object validation schemes will require some run-time
initialization of all kernel objects before they can be used.
Per Ben these initializer macros were never intended to be public. It is
not forbidden to use them, but doing so requires care: the memory being
initialized must reside in kernel space, and extra runtime
initialization steps may need to be peformed before they are fully
usable as kernel objects. In particular, kernel subsystems or drivers
whose objects are already in kernel memory may still need to use these
macros if they define kernel objects as members of a larger data
structure.
It is intended that application developers instead use the
K_<object>_DEFINE macros, which will automatically put the object in the
right memory and add them to a section which can be iterated over at
boot to complete initiailization.
There was no K_WORK_DEFINE() macro for creating struct k_work objects,
this is now added.
k_poll_event and k_poll_signal are intended to be instatiated from
application memory and have not been changed.

The code was so far requesting 5 ms refresh timer, however with a
default TICKS_PER_SECOND=100 this was always rounded up to 10 ms,
causing some flickering. The closest TICKS_PER_SECOND that will give
flicker-less display but also give optimal ms-to-ticks calculations is
250, so change the timer to match that. After this change any code
using the display is recommended to set 250 as ticks per second.

Convert code to use u{8,16,32,64}_t and s{8,16,32,64}_t instead of C99
integer types.

Both the string and image rendering may want to take advantage of
scrolling and sequential display capabilities. Consolidate the APIs so
that there's a single one for images (mb_display_image) and a single
one for strings (mb_display_print). Both take a duration parameter for
the per-frame duration as well as a mode parameter which specifies
sequential vs scrolling behavior as well as an optional looping flag.

Reorder the struct members for more compact layout. The current row
tracker tracks just values 0 to 2 so uint8_t is more than enough for
it.

We don't need to store copies of the current and next image when
scrolling text, since looking up the font is just as efficient and
also consumes less memory.

Add a helper function to reset the state of the display, and make use
of it from the various public functions. This also ensures that the
timer is stopped before starting a new display routine.

Add an empty column between characters of scrolling text so that the
individual characters are more easily distinguishable instead of being
back-to-back mashed together.
Also adjust the default scrolling step interval so that the character
display frequency stays roughly the same as before.

Add a new mb_display_print() API which takes printf-style parameters
and outputs scrolling text instead of one character at a time. The
existing mb_display_str() API is renamed to mb_display_string() for
consistency, and now also takes printf-style parameters.

Adds a simple driver to access the 5x5 LED display found on BBC
micro:bit boards. The display is so limited that no effort is done to
try to integrate with the existing console (which would likely make
the display unusable). Instead, dedicated mb_display_* APIs are added
that are specific to this display.
