This provides the documentation of scope required as a stage towards
removing deprecation for CONFIG_MULTITHREADING=n. The specific lists
of what does work will follow as the code base is inspected and
updated.

Mark all k_mem_pool APIs deprecated for future code. Remaining
internal usage now uses equivalent "z_mem_pool" symbols instead.
Fixes#24358

We have a new heap implementation replacing mem_pool. Add docs on its
API and internals, and add a deprecation note to the mem_pool section.

We did not have any reference to queues and doxygen information were not
linked correctly. Add a placeholder and pull in doxygen data so whenever
someone adds a reference, a link is created.

k_poll() for a signal is often desired for notification of completion
of asynchronous operations, but there are APIs where it may be
necessary to invoke "asynchronous" operations from contexts where
sleep is disallowed, or before the kernel has been initialized.
Extract the general notification solution from the on-off service into
a utility that can be used for other APIs.
Also move documentation out to a resource management section.

Name all subsystem reference consistently with an '_api' postfix and
clean up naming and folder structure in some cases.

There are various situations where it's necessary to support turning
devices on or off at runtime, includin power rails, clocks, other
peripherals, and binary device power management. The complexity of
properly managing multiple consumers of a device in a multithreaded
system suggests that a shared implementation is desirable. This
commit provides an API that supports managing on-off resources.

Moving all thread docs into 1 page was a bit too much. Split the section
a bit and remove redundant and useless sections and move some thread
related documentation from the scheduling page to threads (thread states
and priorities).
Add a new figure for thread states.

We don't really have docs on how fatal errors are induced
or handled. Provide some documentation that covers:
- Assertions (runtime and build)
- Kernel panic and oops conditions
- Stack overflows
- Other exceptions
- Exception handling policy

Add a table summarizing the key characteristics of each
of the data passing objects.
It is useful for readers to have an overview they can skim without
having to read each section in detail.

Splitting these up by area helps make the sidebar a bit easier to
navigate, and will also let us insert additional overview information
about each area.

The approved trademark name is Wi-Fi so update references to WiFi and
other spellings to Wi-Fi in documentation and Kconfig help strings.
(Note that use of spelling variatios of "wifi" in module names, CONFIG
names, link names and such are untouched.)

Move guides and APIs into separate directories and cleanup naming
introducing index files rather than named section files.
