Allan Stephens 61fa627f74 doc: Terminology change - signalling -> synchronization
The kernel's services previously referred to as "signalling services",
which include object types such as semaphores, events, and mutexes,
are now referred to as "synchronization services". This term more
clearly conveys their use as a means to synchronize the operation
of two or more entities within the kernel.

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.
