Historically, stacks were just character buffers and could be treated
as such if the user wanted to look inside the stack data, and also
declared as an array of the desired stack size.
This is no longer the case. Certain architectures will create a memory
region much larger to account for MPU/MMU guard pages. Unfortunately,
the kernel interfaces treat both the declared stack, and the valid
stack buffer within it as the same char * data type, even though these
absolutely cannot be used interchangeably.
We introduce an opaque k_thread_stack_t which gets instantiated by
K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE(), this is no longer treated by the compiler
as a character pointer, even though it really is.
To access the real stack buffer within, the result of
K_THREAD_STACK_BUFFER() can be used, which will return a char * type.
This should catch a bunch of programming mistakes at build time:
- Declaring a character array outside of K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE() and
passing it to K_THREAD_CREATE
- Directly examining the stack created by K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE()
which is not actually the memory desired and may trigger a CPU
exception

This needs to be in <arch/cpu.h> so that it can be called
from the k_panic()/k_oops() macros in kernel.h.
Fixes build errors on these arches when using k_panic() or
k_oops().

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.

nano_cpu_idle/nano_cpu_atomic_idle were not ported to the unified
kernel, and only the old APIs were available. There was no real impact
since, in the unified kernel, only the idle thread should really be
doing power management. However, with a single-threaded kernel, these
functions can be useful again.
The kernel internals now make use of these APIs instead of the legacy
ones.

There was a lot of duplication between architectures for the definition
of threads and the "nanokernel" guts. These have been consolidated.
Now, a common file kernel/unified/include/kernel_structs.h holds the
common definitions. Architectures provide two files to complement it:
kernel_arch_data.h and kernel_arch_func.h. The first one contains at
least the struct _thread_arch and struct _kernel_arch data structures,
as well as the struct _callee_saved and struct _caller_saved register
layouts. The second file contains anything that needs what is provided
by the common stuff in kernel_structs.h. Those two files are only meant
to be included in kernel_structs.h in very specific locations.
The thread data structure has been separated into three major parts:
common struct _thread_base and struct k_thread, and arch-specific struct
_thread_arch. The first and third ones are included in the second.
The struct s_NANO data structure has been split into two: common struct
_kernel and arch-specific struct _kernel_arch. The latter is included in
the former.
Offsets files have also changed: nano_offsets.h has been renamed
kernel_offsets.h and is still included by the arch-specific offsets.c.
Also, since the thread and kernel data structures are now made of
sub-structures, offsets have to be added to make up the full offset.
Some of these additions have been consolidated in shorter symbols,
available from kernel/unified/include/offsets_short.h, which includes an
arch-specific offsets_arch_short.h. Most of the code include
offsets_short.h now instead of offsets.h.
