Kthreads can share the group data so that to reduce overheads.
This implements shared kthread group via:
- use `tcb_s` instead of `task_tcb_s` for kthreads
- use `g_kthread_group` when creating kthreads
- use stackargs to start tasks and kthreads
see pull/12320 for test logs.

Thread args have already been saved to stack after the TLS section by
nxtask_setup_stackargs. This is to retrieve it for use.

This adds pre-allocation and dynamic allocations for sigactions.
Current behavior can be acheived by setting SIG_ALLOC_ACTIONS to
a number larger than 1.

this_task() is a function call that involves disabling interrupts and this_cpu().
Since restore_critical_section is always called in an interrupt-disabled context,
there's no need to disable interrupts again. Therefore, to save time and achieve
the same effect, I directly call tcb = current_task(me) instead of tcb = this_task().

we can use g_cpu_lockset to determine whether we are currently in the scheduling lock,
and all accesses and modifications to g_cpu_lockset, g_cpu_irqlock, g_cpu_irqset
are in the critical section, so we can directly operate on it.
test:
We can use qemu for testing.

waitpid() cannot be used in kernel mode unless SCHED_HAVE_PARENT is
selected -> add dependency if BUILD_KERNEL is selected.
Why? Because without SCHED_HAVE_PARENT waitpid() works in a non-standard
way, meaning it does not use SIGCHLD to wake the parent, as it should.
Also, returning the child status via stat_loc corrupts memory as stat_loc
points to the parent's address environment:
pid_t nxsched_waitpid(pid_t pid, int *stat_loc, int options)
{
...
group->tg_statloc = stat_loc;
...
}
And later when the status is returned, the child writes to tg_statloc,
which points to the parent's address environment -> random memory
corruption:
static inline void nxtask_exitwakeup(FAR struct tcb_s *tcb, int status)
{
...
if (group->tg_statloc != NULL)
{
*group->tg_statloc = status << 8;
}
...
}
This log appears for NSH internal commands in KERNEL build and
duplicates a lot with task_spawn: log. So drop it to make the
DEBUG_SCHED_INFO logging more readable.

we removed "select SCHED_RESUMESCHEDULER",
As SCHED_RESUMESCHEDULER is not a necessary feature in SMP,
turning it on by default may affect performance.

1. The critical section does not prevent task scheduling
2. If the critical section is in sched_lock, there is no need to check,
scheduling is not going to happen
3. If sched_lock is in the critical section, sched_unlock will also
trigger scheduling without waiting for the exit of the critical section
4. After exiting the critical section, if there is an interrupt,
the scheduling will be automatically triggered

In order to ensure the detached thread obtain the correct return
value from pthread_join()/pthread_cancel(), the detached thread
will create joininfo to save the detached status after thread
destroyed. If there are too many of detached threads in the
process group, the joininfo will consume too much memory.
This is not friendly to embedded MCU devices.
This commit keep the semantics as #11898 was introduced,
will no longer save joininfo for detached threads to avoid wasting memory.

In SMP mode, up_cpu_index()/this_cpu() are the same, both return the index of the physical core.
In AMP mode, up_cpu_index() will return the index of the physical core, and this_cpu() will always return 0
