This patch adds a x86_64 architecture and qemu_x86_64 board to Zephyr.
Only the basic architecture support needed to run 64 bit code is
added; no drivers are added, though a low-level console exists and is
wired to printk().
The support is built on top of a "X86 underkernel" layer, which can be
built in isolation as a unit test on a Linux host.
Limitations:
+ Right now the SDK lacks an x86_64 toolchain. The build will fall
back to a host toolchain if it finds no cross compiler defined,
which is tested to work on gcc 8.2.1 right now.
+ No x87/SSE/AVX usage is allowed. This is a stronger limitation than
other architectures where the instructions work from one thread even
if the context switch code doesn't support it. We are passing
-no-sse to prevent gcc from automatically generating SSE
instructions for non-floating-point purposes, which has the side
effect of changing the ABI. Future work to handle the FPU registers
will need to be combined with an "application" ABI distinct from the
kernel one (or just to require USERSPACE).
+ Paging is enabled (it has to be in long mode), but is a 1:1 mapping
of all memory. No MMU/USERSPACE support yet.
+ We are building with -mno-red-zone for stack size reasons, but this
is a valuable optimization. Enabling it requires automatic stack
switching, which requires a TSS, which means it has to happen after
MMU support.
+ The OS runs in 64 bit mode, but for compatibility reasons is
compiled to the 32 bit "X32" ABI. So while the full 64 bit
registers and instruction set are available, C pointers are 32 bits
long and Zephyr is constrained to run in the bottom 4G of memory.

When using an IDE (e.g. Eclipse, Qt Creator), the project name gets
displayed. This greatly simplifies the navigation between projects when
having many of them open at the same time. Naming every project "NONE"
defeats this functionality.
This patch tries to use sensible project names while not duplicating
too much of what is already represented in the path. This is done by
using the name of the directory the relevant CMakeLists.txt file is
stored in. To ensure unique project names in the samples (and again, in
the tests folder) folder, small manual adjustments have been done.

Prepend the text 'cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.8.2)' into the
application and test build scripts.
Modern versions of CMake will spam users with a deprecation warning
when the toplevel CMakeLists.txt does not specify a CMake
version. This is documented in bug #8355.
To resolve this we include a cmake_minimum_required() line into the
toplevel build scripts. Additionally, cmake_minimum_required is
invoked from within boilerplate.cmake. The highest version will be
enforced.
This patch allows us to afterwards change CMake policy CMP000 from OLD
to NEW which in turn finally rids us of the verbose warning.
The extra boilerplate is considered more acceptable than the verbosity
of the CMP0000 policy.

CMake has several prototypes/signatures for the function
'target_link_libraries'. This commit migrates the usage of
'target_link_libraries' on Zephyr CMake libraries from the old 'plain'
signature to the new '<PRIVATE|PUBLIC|INTERFACE>' signature.
For technical reasons the two signatures can not be mixed. Each
library must exclusively use either the old or new signature.
The 'old' plain signature is equivalent to using the PUBLIC
signature. Migrating to use 'PUBLIC' is therefore expected to be a
safe change.
After the migration it will be possible to use the PRIVATE and
INTERFACE signatures on Zephyr CMake libraries. This is useful for
instance to fix issue 8438.

Having a library being GLOBAL, although not default behaviour, or
necessary for the sample, is expected behaviour for a library. It is
expected that like normal libraries, the target name will be
accessible from outside of the CMakeLists.txt file that created it.
Since samples are used as reference code, we specify GLOBAL so that
libraries are created with this intuitive behaviour.

This samples was failing to build with Ninja because Ninja detected
that libmylib.a was missing. Adding it as a BYPRODUCT in the
ExternalProject fixes the issue.

When exporting flags to an external build system we need to deal with
the fact that we sometimes use generator expressions. Specifically, we
use generator expressions that look like this:
$<$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:CXX>:-fno-exceptions>
This patch replaces the old API with a new one where users can ask for
compile options for specific languages, like this:
zephyr_get_compile_options_for_lang_as_string(CXX x)
The existing API would have either crashed or silently omitted flags
when a COMPILE_LANG generator expression was present.

Introducing CMake is an important step in a larger effort to make
Zephyr easy to use for application developers working on different
platforms with different development environment needs.
Simplified, this change retains Kconfig as-is, and replaces all
Makefiles with CMakeLists.txt. The DSL-like Make language that KBuild
offers is replaced by a set of CMake extentions. These extentions have
either provided simple one-to-one translations of KBuild features or
introduced new concepts that replace KBuild concepts.
This is a breaking change for existing test infrastructure and build
scripts that are maintained out-of-tree. But for FW itself, no porting
should be necessary.
For users that just want to continue their work with minimal
disruption the following should suffice:
Install CMake 3.8.2+
Port any out-of-tree Makefiles to CMake.
Learn the absolute minimum about the new command line interface:
$ cd samples/hello_world
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DBOARD=nrf52_pca10040 ..
$ cd build
$ make
