Sparse support was original introduced in #43776.
This commit introduces sparse support as part of Zephyr SCA tool
infrastructure.
The implementation in this commit has some benefits over existing
support:
- It does not required users to set `REAL_CC` in environment before
invoking build command.
This reduces risk of user mistakes, such as
- REAL_CC being different from CMAKE_C_COMPILER.
- User running CMake in one terminal / environment where REAL_CC is
defined but invoking the build command in a different terminal /
environment where REAL_CC is not defined or defined differently.
- It improve user experience as the user no longer has to define /
re-define REAL_CC when building for different architecture, like
switching from arm to xtensa, as this is now handled in CMake.
- CMAKE_C_COMPILER is not overwriting, this can be important for other
tools which calls the C compiler for pre-processing purposes, such
as devicetree and linker script generation.
