The arch.mode status flag is always inline with the actual
thread execution privilege leve. Therefore, we do not need
to be saving-off the thread's mode every time we intend to
context switch-out the thread.

This commit adds an explanatory comment in ARM __swap()
function, stressing when, exactly, context-switch is
expected to occur, when we pend the PendSV exception.

Update reserved function names starting with one underscore, replacing
them as follows:
'_k_' with 'z_'
'_K_' with 'Z_'
'_handler_' with 'z_handl_'
'_Cstart' with 'z_cstart'
'_Swap' with 'z_swap'
This renaming is done on both global and those static function names
in kernel/include and include/. Other static function names in kernel/
are renamed by removing the leading underscore. Other function names
not starting with any prefix listed above are renamed starting with
a 'z_' or 'Z_' prefix.
Function names starting with two or three leading underscores are not
automatcally renamed since these names will collide with the variants
with two or three leading underscores.
Various generator scripts have also been updated as well as perf,
linker and usb files. These are
drivers/serial/uart_handlers.c
include/linker/kobject-text.ld
kernel/include/syscall_handler.h
scripts/gen_kobject_list.py
scripts/gen_syscall_header.py

Fixing the documentation for ARM core __svc function, which was
outdated and present only for the ARMv7-M version.

__swap function was returning -EAGAIN in some case, though its return
value was declared as unsigned int.
This commit changes this function to return int since it can return a
negative value and its return was already been propagate as int.

This patch reworks the current ARM __swap() function into a C function.
Due to some issues with using svc calls withing fault handlers, we
needed to change the way we initiate a swap by removing the dependence
on svc #0.
Before __swap() is called, the system has already done an irq_lock().
Upon return from __swap(), the equivalent of an irq_lock() is done due
to restoration of the key value from the irq_lock preceeding the call.
For ARM V6M (M0/M0+), the pendsv bit is toggled and the irqs are
enabled. There is no priority masking in v6m, so it's just a global
enable. For ARM V7M, the priority mask has to be set to 0x0 to allow
for the pendsv IRQ to be taken. This is done for both via a call to
irq_unlock(0).
After this unlock, a pendsv irq will be taken, either at the tail end
of the current irq handling if we are in handler mode, or immediately
due to the pendsv being asserted (no other outstanding irqs). The next
thread will be scheduled.
Upon return from the context switch to the original
thread, the priority mask will already be correct due to the pendsv
processing.
