The introduction of Zephyr module glue code in the Zephyr repository
introduces a Kconfig variable in the form of:
`config ZEPHYR_<MODULE_NAME>_MODULE`.
All Kconfig variables go into `autoconf.h`, therefore it is necessary
to sanitize the Kconfig variable, so that it does not contain special
characters. To ensure consistent variable name, then the module name
will be sanitized in all variable use in both Kconfig and CMake.
The sanitization is done be replacing all special characters with an
underscore, `_`.

This commit introduces MODULE_EXT_ROOT which allows CMake and Kconfig
glue code to be placed outside of the Zephyr module repository.
This allows for placing glue code in Zephyr, but also allows users to
specify custom MODULE_EXT_ROOTs for glue code using either
`-DMODULE_EXT_ROOT` or `zephyr/module.yml` with
`build:settings:module_ext_root` settings.
MODULE_EXT_ROOT' is a list of directories, similar to other roots such
as BOARD_ROOT, DTS_ROOT, etc.
The Zephyr repo folder ${ZEPHYR_BASE} is always to the MODULE_EXT_ROOT
list as lowest priority.
For each MODULE_EXT_ROOT, the file
`<module_ext_root>/modules/modules.cmake` will be processed.
In Zephyr repo, the folder `modules/<module>/` contains CMakeLists.txt
and Kconfig glue code for the Zephyr module.
A Zephyr module can specify that CMakeLists.txt and Kconfig glue code is
placed in an external module root by specifying:
```
build:
cmake-ext: True
kconfig-ext: True
```
It is still possible to place the CMakeLists.txt and Kconfig files
directly in the Zephyr module using the existing:
```
build:
cmake: <path>
kconfig: <file>
```.
