There was a somewhat promiscuous pattern in the kernel where IPC
mechanisms would do something that might effect the current thread
choice, then check _must_switch_threads() (or occasionally
__must_switch_threads -- don't ask, the distinction is being replaced
by real English words), sometimes _is_in_isr() (but not always, even
in contexts where that looks like it would be a mistake), and then
call _Swap() if everything is OK, otherwise releasing the irq_lock().
Sometimes this was done directly, sometimes via the inverted test,
sometimes (poll, heh) by doing the test when the thread state was
modified and then needlessly passing the result up the call stack to
the point of the _Swap().
And some places were just calling _reschedule_threads(), which did all
this already.
Unify all this madness. The old _reschedule_threads() function has
split into two variants: _reschedule_yield() and
_reschedule_noyield(). The latter is the "normal" one that respects
the cooperative priority of the current thread (i.e. it won't switch
out even if there is a higher priority thread ready -- the current
thread has to pend itself first), the former is used in the handful of
places where code was doing a swap unconditionally, just to preserve
precise behavior across the refactor. I'm not at all convinced it
should exist...

Traditionally k_thread_abort() of the current thread has done a
synchronous _Swap() to the new context. Doing this from an ISR has
never worked portably (some architectures can do it, some can't) for
this reason.
But on Xtensa/asm2, exception handlers now run in interrupt context
and it's a very reasonable requirement for them to abort the excepting
thread.
So simply don't swap, but do the rest of the bookeeping, returning to
the calling context. As a side effect it's now possible to terminate
threads from interrupts, even if they have been interrupted.

The xtensa-asm2 work included a patch that added nano_internal.h
includes in lots of places that needed to have _Swap defined, because
it had to break a cycle and this no longer got pulled in from the arch
headers.
Unfortunately those new includes created new and more amusing cycles
elsewhere which led to breakage on other platforms.
Break out the _Swap definition (only) into a separate header and use
that instead. Cleaner. Seems not to have any more hidden gotchas.

Rename the nano_internal.h to kernel_internal.h and modify the
header file name accordingly wherever it is used.

Use some preprocessor trickery to automatically deduce the amount of
arguments for the various _SYSCALL_HANDLERn() macros. Makes the grunt
work of converting a bunch of kernel APIs to system calls slightly
easier.

We now have macros which should significantly reduce the amount of
boilerplate involved with defining system call handlers.
- Macros which define the proper prototype based on number of arguments
- "SIMPLE" variants which create handlers that don't need anything
other than object verification

Use new _SYSCALL_OBJ/_SYSCALL_OBJ_INIT macros.
Use new _SYSCALL_MEMORY_READ/_SYSCALL_MEMORY_WRITE macros.
Some non-obvious checks changed to use _SYSCALL_VERIFY_MSG.

Previously, this was only done if an essential thread self-exited,
and was a runtime check that generated a kernel panic.
Now if any thread has k_thread_abort() called on it, and that thread
is essential to the system operation, this check is made. It is now
an assertion.
_NANO_ERR_INVALID_TASK_EXIT checks and printouts removed since this
is now an assertion.

Replace the existing Apache 2.0 boilerplate header with an SPDX tag
throughout the zephyr code tree. This patch was generated via a
script run over the master branch.
Also updated doc/porting/application.rst that had a dependency on
line numbers in a literal include.
Manually updated subsys/logging/sys_log.c that had a malformed
header in the original file. Also cleanup several cases that already
had a SPDX tag and we either got a duplicate or missed updating.
