Nordic has a new tool, nRF Util (`nrfutil`) which is replacing the
previous set of command-line tools (particularly `nrfjprog`) that Zephyr
had been using by default in many of the boards to flash the firmware
onto the device.
Since nRF Util is already mature and is going to be replacing the existing
tools, including `nrfjprog`, it is now a good time to change the default
flash tool to reflect this fact.
Note that `nrfjprog` support is not being removed at all, but this may
be a breaking change for users that do not have nRF Util installed. For
this reason we also add a note in the migration guide.

This commit removes all references to the `xtools` toolchain variant in the
board YAML files.
Note that the `xtools` toolchain variant has been deprecated since Zephyr
v3.3.0 and now removed.
The removal process was automated using the following command line:
git grep -l xtools -- boards/*.{yml,yaml} | \
xargs -n 1 -P $(nproc) \
yq -i 'del(.toolchain[] | select(. == "xtools"))'

Remove all USB and CDC ACM configuration in favor of common
configuraiton.
Do not adapt board-specific configurations such as unknown PID/VID or
string descriptors. There is no justification for using them on specific
boards, and we do not have formal approval to use them in the project
tree. Also, we need more uniform configuration, since the main reason
for enabling CDC ACM here is to allow users to run examples like
hello_world right out of the box. Of course, anyone is free to customize
these settings in their fork or downstream project.

Deprecate BT_CTLR, and add a new HAS_BT_CTLR as a virtual option which
specific users (like BT_LL_SW_SPLIT) select. This also means that we can
remove all places that were forcefully enabling the BT_CTLR option, and
instead we now depend on devicetree to get some local LL HCI driver
enabled which in turn also enables the HAS_BT_CTLR option.

This updates the documentation of all the MakerDiary boards to use
the new `zephyr:board::` directive.

Full name was set based on the information available either in board
documentation or in Twister files.
Whenever applicable, vendor name was dropped from the full name so that
all boards have a consistent naming scheme.

Add common default flash partition layout for nrf52840 as many boards
have used identical flash layouts.
The default flash layout was updated to remove scrach in 2022 (9a84258)
but almost all boards were still using the previous layout, so this
updates them to the new layout with allows for larger applications.
This commit also incorporates feeedback from @nordicjm in PR #77791 to
change slot0 to 0x00077000 and slot1 to 0x00075000: "If you use swap
using move, you need a sector for the data to be moved up by, and you
need space for the swap status fields, which is about a sector, so by
making the changes here you get the full 0x65000 for an image, without
these changes you get 0x64000.

This test feature is not required and was only used as a dependency in
the usb/console example. It is redundant since the sample already
depends on usb_device.
