f1f63dda17 arm64: FPU context switching support
This adds FPU sharing support with a lazy context switching algorithm.

Every thread is allowed to use FPU/SIMD registers. In fact, the compiler
may insert FPU reg accesses in anycontext to optimize even non-FP code
unless the -mgeneral-regs-only compiler flag is used, but Zephyr
currently doesn't support such a build.

It is therefore possible to do FP access in IRS as well with this patch
although IRQs are then disabled to prevent nested IRQs in such cases.

Because the thread object grows in size, some tests have to be adjusted.

f97d12936e kernel: add an architecture specific structs header
Add the ability to define architecture specific structures, notably
the ability to extend struct _cpu with per-CPU arch-specific stuff that
can be accessed with _current_cpu->arch.* similarly to _current->arch.*
for per-thead architecture data.

This is opt-in for architectures that want to benefit from this,
otherwise empty defaults are provided. A placeholder for ARM64 is
included to show the pattern.
