Software interrupts or system calls aren't really appropriate for
zephyr, but we have an ongoing need in our test code to run a
function with arguments synchronously in interrupt context.
This patch introduces irq_offload() which allows us to do this without
separate initialization or having to manage fake IRQs in the
interrupt controller.

ARC is not yet implemented but will be in a subsequent patch.
irq_test_common.h has been removed and all test cases updated to
use the new API.

This introduces a generic driver set for console messages routed over
inter-processor interrupt (IPI) channels. These drivers bind to a
low-level IPI driver instance for the actual transport of messages.
ipi_console_sender installs printk and/or stdout hooks to forward
messages over IPI. There is currently no buffering on the sending side.
ipi_console_receiver installs an IPI callback which stashes incoming
characters into a ring buffer, which is monitored by a nanokernel
fiber. The fiber buffers the characters on a per-line basis and sends
them to either printk or stdout. Multiple instances of this driver
may be created in case you need to receive console data from multiple
CPUs.
