Only a single bit of the 4-byte internal (thread.arch) status
variable 'mode' is currently used, when we build with User mode
support (CONFIG_USERSPACE=y). In this commit we extend the usage
of 'mode' variable, adding an additional bit-flag to track the
status of the floating point context in a particular thread,
i.e. to track whether FP context is active or not. The status
bit is meant to be used in context-switch, to restore the FP
register context when required.

Under Unshared FP register mode we are not sharing the
FP context among different threads, so we do not need to
include the FP high registers bank in the thread.arch
container.

The struct _caller_saved is not used. Most architectures put
automatically the registers onto stack, in others architectures the
exception code does it.

This commit removes the priv_stack_size field from the _thread_arch
on arm architecture as there is no code using value stored in this
variable.

Avoid nested C++ comments inside the C comment block due to MISRA-C
rule 3.1. Keep the variables documenting possible caller saved
registers.

This patch adds support for userspace on ARM architectures. Arch
specific calls for transitioning threads to user mode, system calls,
and associated handlers.

Historically, space for struct k_thread was always carved out of the
thread's stack region. However, we want more control on where this data
will reside; in memory protection scenarios the stack may only be used
for actual stack data and nothing else.
On some platforms (particularly ARM), including kernel_arch_data.h from
the toplevel kernel.h exposes intractable circular dependency issues.
We create a new per-arch header "kernel_arch_thread.h" with very limited
scope; it only defines the three data structures necessary to instantiate
the arch-specific bits of a struct k_thread.
