Only one single IPC service backend is currently present: multi_instance
backend. This backend is heavily relying on the RPMsg multi_instance
code to instanciate and manage instances and endpoints. Samples exist
for both in the samples/subsys/ipc/ directory.
With this patch we are "unpacking" the RPMsg multi_service code to make
it more modular and reusable by different backends.
In particular we are re-organizing the code into two helper libraries:
an RPMsg library and a VRING / virtqueues static allocation library. At
the same time we rewrite the multi_instance backend to make fully use of
those new libraries and remove the old multi_instance sample.

This patch implements a service that adds multiple instances
capabilities to RPMsg.
Each instance is allocated a separate piece of shared memory.
Multiple instances provide independent message processing.
Each instance has its own work_q.

This patch implements a service that adds multiendpoint
capabilities to RPMsg. Multiple endpoints are intended to be used
when multiple modules need services from a remote processor. Each
module may register one or more RPMsg endpoints.
The implementation separates backend from the service, what
allows to extend this module to support other topologies like
Linux <-> Zephyr.
