Some kernel operations, like scheduler locking can be optmized out,
since coop threads lock the scheduler by their very nature. Also, the
interrupt exit path for all architecture does not have to do any
rescheduling, again by the nature of non-preemptible threads.

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.

The way the ready thread cache was implemented caused it to not always
be "hot", i.e. there could be some misses, which happened when the
cached thread was taken out of the ready queue. When that happened, it
was not replaced immediately, since doing so could mean that the
replacement might not run because the flow could be interrupted and
another thread could take its place. This was the more conservative
approach that insured that moving a thread to the cache would never be
wasted.
However, this caused two problems:
1. The cache could not be refilled until another thread context-switched
in, since there was no thread in the cache to compare priorities
against.
2. Interrupt exit code would always have to call into C to find what
thread to run when the current thread was not coop and did not have the
scheduler locked. Furthermore, it was possible for this code path to
encounter a cold cache and then it had to find out what thread to run
the long way.
To fix this, filling the cache is now more aggressive, i.e. the next
thread to put in the cache is found even in the case the current cached
thread is context-switched out. This ensures the interrupt exit code is
much faster on the slow path. In addition, since finding the next thread
to run is now always "get it from the cache", which is a simple fetch
from memory (_kernel.ready_q.cache), there is no need to call the more
complex C code.
On the ARM FRDM K64F board, this improvement is seen:
Before:
1- Measure time to switch from ISR back to interrupted task
switching time is 215 tcs = 1791 nsec
2- Measure time from ISR to executing a different task (rescheduled)
switch time is 315 tcs = 2625 nsec
After:
1- Measure time to switch from ISR back to interrupted task
switching time is 130 tcs = 1083 nsec
2- Measure time from ISR to executing a different task (rescheduled)
switch time is 225 tcs = 1875 nsec
These are the most dramatic improvements, but most of the numbers
generated by the latency_measure test are improved.
Fixes ZEP-1401.

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.

The toolchain headers included an abstraction for defining symbol
names in assembly context in the situation where we're using a
DOS-style assembler that automatically prepends an underscore to
symbol names.
We aren't. Zephyr is an ELF platform. None of our toolchains do
this. Nothing sets the "TOOL_PREPENDS_UNDERSCORE" macro from within
the project, and it surely isn't an industry standard. Yank it out.
Now we can write assembler labels in natural syntax, and a few other
things fall out to simplify too.
(NOTE: these headers contain assembly code and will fail checkpatch.
That is an expected false positive.)

We now allow use of -mgpopt=global and -mgpopt=data. The 'global'
option is now the default instead of compiler-default local, expanding
global pointer usage to all small data in the system.
For systems where all RAM is less than 64K, the 'data' option may be
appropriate.
Some fixes had to be made to the system in order to get around some
issues:
* prep_c.c no longer uses fake linker variables to figure out the size
of data or BSS, as these gave the linker fits as it tried to compute
relative addresses to them.
* _k_task_ptr_idle is create by sysgen and placed in a special section.
Any small data in a special section needs to be declared extern
with __attribute__((section)) else the compiler will assume it's in
.sdata.
* same situation with extern references to k_pipe_t (fixed pipe_priv
test)
For legacy applications being ported to Nios II which do things that
freak out global pointer calculation, it can be disabled entirely.
