Add tick-based (i.e. precision resistant) inspection APIs for kernel
timeouts visible via k_timer, k_delayed work and thread timeouts
(i.e. pended/sleeping threads). These are each available in
"remaining" and "expires" variants returning time values relative to
current time and system start. All have system calls where applicable
(i.e. everywhere but k_delayed_work, which is not a userspace API)
The pre-existing millisecond "remaining_get()" predicates for timer
and delayed work remain, but are expressed in terms of the newer
calls.

Add support for "absolute" timeouts, which are expressed relative to
system uptime instead of deltas from current time. These allow for
more race-resistant code to be written by allowing application code to
do a single timeout computation, once, and then reuse the timeout
value even if the thread wakes up and needs to suspend again later.

Add a k_timeout_t type, and use it everywhere that kernel API
functions were accepting a millisecond timeout argument. Instead of
forcing milliseconds everywhere (which are often not integrally
representable as system ticks), do the conversion to ticks at the
point where the timeout is created. This avoids an extra unit
conversion in some application code, and allows us to express the
timeout in units other than milliseconds to achieve greater precision.
The existing K_MSEC() et. al. macros now return initializers for a
k_timeout_t.
The K_NO_WAIT and K_FOREVER constants have now become k_timeout_t
values, which means they cannot be operated on as integers.
Applications which have their own APIs that need to inspect these
vs. user-provided timeouts can now use a K_TIMEOUT_EQ() predicate to
test for equality.
Timer drivers, which receive an integer tick count in ther
z_clock_set_timeout() functions, now use the integer-valued
K_TICKS_FOREVER constant instead of K_FOREVER.
For the initial release, to preserve source compatibility, a
CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API kconfig is provided. When true, the
k_timeout_t will remain a compatible 32 bit value that will work with
any legacy Zephyr application.
Some subsystems present timeout (or timeout-like) values to their own
users as APIs that would re-use the kernel's own constants and
conventions. These will require some minor design work to adapt to
the new scheme (in most cases just using k_timeout_t directly in their
own API), and they have not been changed in this patch, instead
selecting CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API via kconfig. These subsystems
include: CAN Bus, the Microbit display driver, I2S, LoRa modem
drivers, the UART Async API, Video hardware drivers, the console
subsystem, and the network buffer abstraction.
k_sleep() now takes a k_timeout_t argument, with a k_msleep() variant
provided that works identically to the original API.
Most of the changes here are just type/configuration management and
documentation, but there are logic changes in mempool, where a loop
that used a timeout numerically has been reworked using a new
z_timeout_end_calc() predicate. Also in queue.c, a (when POLL was
enabled) a similar loop was needlessly used to try to retry the
k_poll() call after a spurious failure. But k_poll() does not fail
spuriously, so the loop was removed.

The existing stack_analyze APIs had some problems:
1. Not properly namespaced
2. Accepted the stack object as a parameter, yet the stack object
does not contain the necessary information to get the associated
buffer region, the thread object is needed for this
3. Caused a crash on certain platforms that do not allow inspection
of unused stack space for the currently running thread
4. No user mode access
5. Separately passed in thread name
We deprecate these functions and add a new API
k_thread_stack_space_get() which addresses all of these issues.

The intention of disabling CONFIG_PRINTK is that all
invocations of it will compile to nothing, saving a lot
of runtime overhead and footprint since all the format
strings are completely dropped; instances of printk()
and related functions are no-ops.
However, some subsystems need snprintk() for string
processing, since the snprintf() implementations in even
minimal C library are too costly in text footprint or
stack usage for some applications. This processing is
required for the application to even function.
This patch continues to have disabling CONFIG_PRINTK to
cause the non snprintk functions to become no-ops, but
now we always compile the necessary bits for snprintk(),
relying on gc-sections to discard them if unused.
z_vprintk() is now unconditionally defined in the header
since it is not tied to any particular output sink and
is intended for users who know exactly what they are
doing (it's in zephyr private scope).

When suspending a thread, cancel any pending timeouts which might wake
it up unexpectedly. Also, make suspending the current thread
(specifically) a schedule point, as callers are clearly going to
expect that to be synchronous.
Also fix a documentation weirdness. The phrasing in the earlier docs
for k_thread_suspend() was confusing: it could be interpreted as
either document the current (essentially buggy) behavior that threads
will "wake up" due to preexisting timeouts, OR to mean that thread
timeouts will continue to be tracked so that resuming a thread that
was sleeping will continue to sleep until the timeout (something that
has never been implemented: k_sleep() is implemented on top of
suspend). Rewrite to document what we actually implement.

This commit refactors kernel and arch headers to establish a boundary
between private and public interface headers.
The refactoring strategy used in this commit is detailed in the issue
This commit introduces the following major changes:
1. Establish a clear boundary between private and public headers by
removing "kernel/include" and "arch/*/include" from the global
include paths. Ideally, only kernel/ and arch/*/ source files should
reference the headers in these directories. If these headers must be
used by a component, these include paths shall be manually added to
the CMakeLists.txt file of the component. This is intended to
discourage applications from including private kernel and arch
headers either knowingly and unknowingly.
- kernel/include/ (PRIVATE)
This directory contains the private headers that provide private
kernel definitions which should not be visible outside the kernel
and arch source code. All public kernel definitions must be added
to an appropriate header located under include/.
- arch/*/include/ (PRIVATE)
This directory contains the private headers that provide private
architecture-specific definitions which should not be visible
outside the arch and kernel source code. All public architecture-
specific definitions must be added to an appropriate header located
under include/arch/*/.
- include/ AND include/sys/ (PUBLIC)
This directory contains the public headers that provide public
kernel definitions which can be referenced by both kernel and
application code.
- include/arch/*/ (PUBLIC)
This directory contains the public headers that provide public
architecture-specific definitions which can be referenced by both
kernel and application code.
2. Split arch_interface.h into "kernel-to-arch interface" and "public
arch interface" divisions.
- kernel/include/kernel_arch_interface.h
* provides private "kernel-to-arch interface" definition.
* includes arch/*/include/kernel_arch_func.h to ensure that the
interface function implementations are always available.
* includes sys/arch_interface.h so that public arch interface
definitions are automatically included when including this file.
- arch/*/include/kernel_arch_func.h
* provides architecture-specific "kernel-to-arch interface"
implementation.
* only the functions that will be used in kernel and arch source
files are defined here.
- include/sys/arch_interface.h
* provides "public arch interface" definition.
* includes include/arch/arch_inlines.h to ensure that the
architecture-specific public inline interface function
implementations are always available.
- include/arch/arch_inlines.h
* includes architecture-specific arch_inlines.h in
include/arch/*/arch_inline.h.
- include/arch/*/arch_inline.h
* provides architecture-specific "public arch interface" inline
function implementation.
* supersedes include/sys/arch_inline.h.
3. Refactor kernel and the existing architecture implementations.
- Remove circular dependency of kernel and arch headers. The
following general rules should be observed:
* Never include any private headers from public headers
* Never include kernel_internal.h in kernel_arch_data.h
* Always include kernel_arch_data.h from kernel_arch_func.h
* Never include kernel.h from kernel_struct.h either directly or
indirectly. Only add the kernel structures that must be referenced
from public arch headers in this file.
- Relocate syscall_handler.h to include/ so it can be used in the
public code. This is necessary because many user-mode public codes
reference the functions defined in this header.
- Relocate kernel_arch_thread.h to include/arch/*/thread.h. This is
necessary to provide architecture-specific thread definition for
'struct k_thread' in kernel.h.
- Remove any private header dependencies from public headers using
the following methods:
* If dependency is not required, simply omit
* If dependency is required,
- Relocate a portion of the required dependencies from the
private header to an appropriate public header OR
- Relocate the required private header to make it public.
