Benjamin Walsh ed240f2796 kernel/arch: streamline thread user options
The K_<thread option> flags/options avaialble to users were hidden in
the kernel private header files: move them to include/kernel.h to
publicize them.

Also, to avoid any future confusion, rename the k_thread.execution_flags
field to user_options.

David B. Kinder ac74d8b652 license: Replace Apache boilerplate with SPDX tag
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.

Jira: ZEP-1457

Benjamin Walsh 168695c7ef kernel/arch: inspect prio/sched_locked together for preemptibility
These two fields in the thread structure control the preemptibility of a
thread.

sched_locked is decremented when the scheduler gets locked, which means
that the scheduler is locked for values 0xff to 0x01, since it can be
locked recursively. A thread is coop if its priority is negative, thus
if the prio field value is 0x80 to 0xff when looked at as an unsigned
value.

By putting them end-to-end, this means that a thread is non-preemptible
if the bundled value is greater than or equal to 0x0080. This is the
only thing the interrupt exit code has to check to decide to try a
reschedule or not.

Benjamin Walsh f955476559 kernel/arch: optimize memory use of some thread fields
Some thread fields were 32-bit wide, when they are not even close to
using that full range of values. They are instead changed to 8-bit fields.

- prio can fit in one byte, limiting the priorities range to -128 to 127

- recursive scheduler locking can be limited to 255; a rollover results
  most probably from a logic error

- flags are split into execution flags and thread states; 8 bits is
  enough for each of them currently, with at worst two states and four
  flags to spare (on x86, on other archs, there are six flags to spare)

Doing this saves 8 bytes per stack. It also sets up an incoming
enhancement when checking if the current thread is preemptible on
interrupt exit.
