The unified kernel calls a function (_get_next_ready_thread) to fetch
the next thread to run: it thus must save caller-saved registers that
are expected to hold a value before calling such function.
The callee-saved registers are available after saving them in the
outgoing thread's stack, so use some of those instead to reduce the
number of registers to save before calling _get_next_ready_thread. Also,
save caller-saved registers in callee-saved registers instead of on the
stack to reduce memory accesses.
This issue did not show up previously, probably because
_get_next_ready_thread did not use the regsiters that had to be saved,
but an upcoming optimization to that function stomps on them.

The ARM architecture port is fitted with support for the unified kernel,
namely:
- the interrupt/exception exit code now pends PendSV if the current
thread is not a coop thread and if the scheduler is not locked
- fiber_abort is replaced by k_thread_abort(), which takes a thread ID
as a parameter (i.e. does not only operate on the current thread)
- the _nanokernel.flags cache of _current.flags is not used anymore
(could be a source of bugs) and is not needed in the scheduling algo
- there is no 'task' field in the _nanokernel anymore: PendSV not calls
_get_next_ready_thread instead
- the _nanokernel.fiber field is replaced by a more sophisticated
ready_q, based on the microkernel's priority-bitmap-based one
- thread initialization initializes new fields in the tcs, and does not
initialize obsolete ones
- nano_private includes nano_internal.h from the unified directory
- The FIBER, TASK and PREEMPTIBLE flags do not exist anymore: the thread
priority drives the behaviour
- the tcs uses a dlist for queuing in both ready and wait queues instead
of a custom singly-linked list
- other new fields in the tcs include a schedule-lock count, a
back-pointer to init data (when the task is static) and a pointer to
swap data, needed when a thread pending on _Swap() must be passed more
then just one value (e.g. k_stack_pop() needs an error code and data)
- the 'fiber' and 'task' fields of _nanokernel are replaced with an O(1)
ready queue (taken from the microkernel)
- fiberRtnValueSet() is aliased to _set_thread_return_value since it
also operates on preempt threads now
- _set_thread_return_value_with_data() sets the swap_data field in
addition to a return value from _Swap()
- convenience aliases are created for shorter names:
- _current is defined as _nanokernel.current
- _ready_q is defined as _nanokernel.ready_q
- _Swap() sets the threads's return code to -EAGAIN before swapping out
to prevent timeouts to have to set it (solves hard issues in some
kernel objects).

The toolchain headers included an abstraction for defining symbol
names in assembly context in the situation where we're using a
DOS-style assembler that automatically prepends an underscore to
symbol names.
We aren't. Zephyr is an ELF platform. None of our toolchains do
this. Nothing sets the "TOOL_PREPENDS_UNDERSCORE" macro from within
the project, and it surely isn't an industry standard. Yank it out.
Now we can write assembler labels in natural syntax, and a few other
things fall out to simplify too.
(NOTE: these headers contain assembly code and will fail checkpatch.
That is an expected false positive.)

Use of `ldr` triggers unaligned memory access when loading SVC
instruction to r0. This is caused by the fact that SVC is a 16-bit
instruction, hence with a 2 byte offset, we are performing an non-word
aligned access. Prevent this by using `ldrh` to load a halfwords rather
than full words.

Software interrupts or system calls aren't really appropriate for
zephyr, but we have an ongoing need in our test code to run a
function with arguments synchronously in interrupt context.
This patch introduces irq_offload() which allows us to do this without
separate initialization or having to manage fake IRQs in the
interrupt controller.

ARC is not yet implemented but will be in a subsequent patch.
irq_test_common.h has been removed and all test cases updated to
use the new API.

The term 'context' is vague and overloaded. Its usage for 'an execution
context' is now referred as such, in both comments and some APIs' names.
When the execution context can only be a fiber or a task (i.e. not an
ISR), it is referred to as a 'thread', again in comments and everywhere
in the code.
APIs that had their names changed:
- nano_context_id_t is now nano_thread_id_t
- context_self_get() is now sys_thread_self_get()
- context_type_get() is now sys_execution_context_type_get()
- context_custom_data_set/get() are now
sys_thread_custom_data_set/get()
The 'context' prefix namespace does not have to be reserved by the
kernel anymore.
The Context Control Structure (CCS) data structure is now the Thread
Control Structure (TCS):
- struct ccs is now struct tcs
- tCCS is now tTCS
