Tomasz Bursztyka 55fdd1fd33 device: Provide generic API to handle synchronous calls in drivers
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.

Allan Stephens 46c5f12a1f doc: Overhaul of Zephyr Kernel Primer overview section
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.
