17299f0734 doc: document python build scripts
We have a collection of python scripts that are part of our build
system.  This PR collects docstring comments added to these scripts into
a summary document.  Previous references to just the script name in
other documentation are updated to point to this build tool
documentation.

Some of the scripts needed an update to be processed (via include
directives) consistently.

984bfae831 global: Remove leading/trailing blank lines in files
Remove leading/trailing blank lines in .c, .h, .py, .rst, .yml, and
.yaml files.

Will avoid failures with the new CI test in
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/ci-tools/pull/112, though it only
checks changed files.

Move the 'target-notes' target in boards/xtensa/odroid_go/doc/index.rst
to get rid of the trailing blank line there. It was probably misplaced.

cb87cc8fd6 doc: add two diagrams to user mode documentation
One shows how globals are routed for automatic memory
domains. The other illustrates control flow when making
system calls.

4f77c2ad53 kernel: rename z_arch_ to arch_
Promote the private z_arch_* namespace, which specifies
the interface between the core kernel and the
architecture code, to a new top-level namespace named
arch_*.

This allows our documentation generation to create
online documentation for this set of interfaces,
and this set of interfaces is worth treating in a
more formal way anyway.

800b35f598 kernel: use uintptr_t for syscall arguments
We need to pass system call args using a register-width
data type and not hard-code this to u32_t.

6564974bae userspace: Support for split 64 bit arguments
System call arguments, at the arch layer, are single words.  So
passing wider values requires splitting them into two registers at
call time.  This gets even more complicated for values (e.g
k_timeout_t) that may have different sizes depending on configuration.
This patch adds a feature to gen_syscalls.py to detect functions with
wide arguments and automatically generates code to split/unsplit them.

Unfortunately the current scheme of Z_SYSCALL_DECLARE_* macros won't
work with functions like this, because for N arguments (our current
maximum N is 10) there are 2^N possible configurations of argument
widths.  So this generates the complete functions for each handler and
wrapper, effectively doing in python what was originally done in the
preprocessor.

Another complexity is that traditional the z_hdlr_*() function for a
system call has taken the raw list of word arguments, which does not
work when some of those arguments must be 64 bit types.  So instead of
using a single Z_SYSCALL_HANDLER macro, this splits the job of
z_hdlr_*() into two steps: An automatically-generated unmarshalling
function, z_mrsh_*(), which then calls a user-supplied verification
function z_vrfy_*().  The verification function is typesafe, and is a
simple C function with exactly the same argument and return signature
as the syscall impl function.  It is also not responsible for
validating the pointers to the extra parameter array or a wide return
value, that code gets automatically generated.

This commit includes new vrfy/msrh handling for all syscalls invoked
during CI runs.  Future commits will port the less testable code.
