Move to more generic tracing hooks that can be implemented in different
ways and do not interfere with the kernel.

Define generic interface and hooks for tracing to replace
kernel_event_logger and existing tracing facilities with something more
common.

There exist two symbols that became equivalent when PR #9383 was
merged; _SYSCALL_LIMIT and K_SYSCALL_LIMIT. This patch deprecates the
redundant _SYSCALL_LIMIT symbol.
_SYSCALL_LIMIT was initally introduced because before PR #9383 was
merged K_SYSCALL_LIMIT was an enum, which couldn't be included into
assembly files. PR #9383 converted it into a define, which can be
included into assembly files, making _SYSCALL_LIMIT redundant.
Likewise for _SYSCALL_BAD.

In some kernel configurations, the offset can be greater
than the maximum of 124 for ldr/str immediate offsets.

The PendSV handler sits below the priority of other OS interrupts, but
it was inspecting kernel state before masking those interrupts out!
Move the locking to the top.

The r7 register is used as a frame pointer on ARM Thumb. As result, it
cannot be modified by the assembly code in functions using stack frame.
This commit replaces r7 by r8, which is a general purpose register.
Also it fixes#7704.

Remove unused context switch code from the helper assembly file that
manages the SuperVisor Call invocations (SVCs). This is no longer in use
in the code, since all calls to __swap() now go through PendSV directly.

This commit activates the built-in stack guard on the main_thread
before jumping to it upon system initialization. Stack guard is
activated if BUILTIN_STACK_GUARD is enabled by the user. The
commit also activates built-in thread stack guards at every
context switch, if BUILTIN_STACK_GUARD enabled by the user.

This patch changes the ARM system calls to use registers for passing
or arguments. This removes the possibility of stack issues when
callers do not adhere to the AAPCS.

During the transition of privilege levels while performing syscalls,
the ARM documentation recommends flushing the pipeline to avoid
pre-fetched instructions from being executed with the previous
privilege level.
The manual says:
4.16 CONTROL register
(...) after programming the CONTROL register, an ISB instruction
should be used.
(...) This is not implemented in the Cortex M0 processor.

This patch reworks the current ARM __swap() function into a C function.
Due to some issues with using svc calls withing fault handlers, we
needed to change the way we initiate a swap by removing the dependence
on svc #0.
Before __swap() is called, the system has already done an irq_lock().
Upon return from __swap(), the equivalent of an irq_lock() is done due
to restoration of the key value from the irq_lock preceeding the call.
For ARM V6M (M0/M0+), the pendsv bit is toggled and the irqs are
enabled. There is no priority masking in v6m, so it's just a global
enable. For ARM V7M, the priority mask has to be set to 0x0 to allow
for the pendsv IRQ to be taken. This is done for both via a call to
irq_unlock(0).
After this unlock, a pendsv irq will be taken, either at the tail end
of the current irq handling if we are in handler mode, or immediately
due to the pendsv being asserted (no other outstanding irqs). The next
thread will be scheduled.
Upon return from the context switch to the original
thread, the priority mask will already be correct due to the pendsv
processing.
