This enables qemu_x86_tiny to be used for more general demand
paging testing where non-pinned code and data is not available
in physical memory at boot. This adds a custom linker script to
qemu_x86_tiny for pinning code and data. In the process, a new
kconfig CONFIG_BOARD_QEMU_X86_TINY has to be introduced to
distinguish from other qemu_x86* boards. This linker script
is based on the generic x86-32 one in
include/arch/x86/ia32/linker.ld, with additions to
put symbols into boot and pinned sections.

This puts the fatal error handler into pinned sections so
it can be used to handle fatal errors without causing
page faults.

Move to CMake 3.20.0.
At the Toolchain WG it was decided to move to CMake 3.20.0.
The main reason for increasing CMake version is better toolchain
support.
Better toolchain support is added in the following CMake versions:
- armclang, CMake 3.15
- Intel oneAPI, CMake 3.20
- IAR, CMake 3.15 and 3.20

These functions are those that need be implemented by backing
store outside kernel. Promote them from z_* so these can be
included in documentation.

This waits a bit for NRU eviction algorithm (which is the default)
to work its magic to clear the access bit of physical frames.
This increases the number of clean pages which can be evicted,
to make sure the number of clean pages evicted is not zero, which
would cause an assertion.

The test itself is highly sensitive to the size of the kernel
image. When the kernel gets larger, the number of pages used by
the backing store needs to shrink. So here this is.

This adds bits to support using timing functions for displaying
paging histograms. Currently on qemu_x86_tiny is supported.
Also shorten the test names.

This adds more bits to gather statistics on demand paging,
e.g. clean vs dirty pages evicted, # page faults with
IRQ locked/unlocked, etc.
Also extends this to gather per-thread demand paging
statistics.

If we evict enough pages to completely fill the backing store,
through APIs like k_mem_map(), z_page_frame_evict(), or
z_mem_page_out(), this will produce a crash the next time we
try to handle a page fault.
The backing store now always reserves a free storage location
for actual page faults.

More to be added, but for now show that we can map more
anonymous memory than we physically have, and that reading/
writing to it works as expected.
