Upcoming memory protection features will be placing some additional
constraints on kernel objects:
- They need to reside in memory owned by the kernel and not the
application
- Certain kernel object validation schemes will require some run-time
initialization of all kernel objects before they can be used.
Per Ben these initializer macros were never intended to be public. It is
not forbidden to use them, but doing so requires care: the memory being
initialized must reside in kernel space, and extra runtime
initialization steps may need to be peformed before they are fully
usable as kernel objects. In particular, kernel subsystems or drivers
whose objects are already in kernel memory may still need to use these
macros if they define kernel objects as members of a larger data
structure.
It is intended that application developers instead use the
K_<object>_DEFINE macros, which will automatically put the object in the
right memory and add them to a section which can be iterated over at
boot to complete initiailization.
There was no K_WORK_DEFINE() macro for creating struct k_work objects,
this is now added.
k_poll_event and k_poll_signal are intended to be instatiated from
application memory and have not been changed.

This will prepare test cases and samples with metadata and information
that will be consumed by the sanitycheck script which will be changed to
parse YAML files instead of ini.

Adds changes to enable existing kernel and timer tests and samples to
be used to test the tickless kernel feature.
Updated samples/philosophers and tests/kernel/timer/timer_api apps
Run the tests using following commands
make pristine && make BOARD=<board> CONF_FILE=prj_tickless.conf qemu
Board could be any of the following
qemu_x86

Convert code to use u{8,16,32,64}_t and s{8,16,32,64}_t instead of C99
integer types.

This is a start to move away from the C99 {u}int{8,16,32,64}_t types to
Zephyr defined u{8,16,32,64}_t and s{8,16,32,64}_t. This allows Zephyr
to define the sized types in a consistent manor across all the
architectures we support and not conflict with what various compilers
and libc might do with regards to the C99 types.
We introduce <zephyr/types.h> as part of this and have it include
<stdint.h> for now until we transition all the code away from the C99
types.
We go with u{8,16,32,64}_t and s{8,16,32,64}_t as there are some
existing variables defined u8 & u16 as well as to be consistent with
Zephyr naming conventions.

ztest has a number of assert style macros and used a baseline assert()
that varies from the system definition of assert() so lets rename
everything as zassert to be clear.

Replace the existing Apache 2.0 boilerplate header with an SPDX tag
throughout the zephyr code tree. This patch was generated via a
script run over the master branch.
Also updated doc/porting/application.rst that had a dependency on
line numbers in a literal include.
Manually updated subsys/logging/sys_log.c that had a malformed
header in the original file. Also cleanup several cases that already
had a SPDX tag and we either got a duplicate or missed updating.
