Instead of having kernel APIs documentated in a separate page, move the
API references to the object pages and have everything in one place.
Remove the intermediate category page and list all section under the
kernel directly.

With the new theme we are able to have more section in the top level.
Move things around and expose the most important sections in the top
table of content.

This initial batch of documentation describes policies and
mechanism related to kernel objects and system calls.
Some details on porting user mode to a new arch have been
provided in the architecture porting guide.
Thread documentation updated with some user mode consideration.
This is not the final documentation, more to come in subsequent
patches.

Version 1 kernel (release 1.5 and earlier) is far enough from memory now
to remove the "version 2" wording in the kernel documentation and just
call it "the kernel".

Introduce the device_sync_call_t object type and its API.
This object type allows one thread to perform synchronous calls into a
driver. Only one thread can do such calls per instance of the
device_sync_call_t object since it makes a global record of what type of
thread is waiting on it.
Based on an idea from Dmitriy Korovkin and Peter Mitsis, moving their
proposal to a more generic API provides the solution for all device
drivers that exposes synchronous API in an interrupt based
implementation.

A complete rewrite of the Overview section. The revised text
provides a more logical and comprehensive introduction to the
main concepts and capabilities of Zephyr, without providing
an excessive level of detail. (Those details should be provided
by the remaining sections of the Kernel Primer.)
This rewrite has also resulted in some small changes to the
About Zephyr and other Kernel Primer sections.
