Gets rid of unnecessary THREAD_MONITOR_INIT() macro, to be
consistent with the approach taken by _thread_monitor_exit().
Aligns x86 code with the approach used on other architectures.
Revises the associated comments and removes unnecessary
doxygen tags.

The ARM architecture port is fitted with support for the unified kernel,
namely:
- the interrupt/exception exit code now pends PendSV if the current
thread is not a coop thread and if the scheduler is not locked
- fiber_abort is replaced by k_thread_abort(), which takes a thread ID
as a parameter (i.e. does not only operate on the current thread)
- the _nanokernel.flags cache of _current.flags is not used anymore
(could be a source of bugs) and is not needed in the scheduling algo
- there is no 'task' field in the _nanokernel anymore: PendSV not calls
_get_next_ready_thread instead
- the _nanokernel.fiber field is replaced by a more sophisticated
ready_q, based on the microkernel's priority-bitmap-based one
- thread initialization initializes new fields in the tcs, and does not
initialize obsolete ones
- nano_private includes nano_internal.h from the unified directory
- The FIBER, TASK and PREEMPTIBLE flags do not exist anymore: the thread
priority drives the behaviour
- the tcs uses a dlist for queuing in both ready and wait queues instead
of a custom singly-linked list
- other new fields in the tcs include a schedule-lock count, a
back-pointer to init data (when the task is static) and a pointer to
swap data, needed when a thread pending on _Swap() must be passed more
then just one value (e.g. k_stack_pop() needs an error code and data)
- the 'fiber' and 'task' fields of _nanokernel are replaced with an O(1)
ready queue (taken from the microkernel)
- fiberRtnValueSet() is aliased to _set_thread_return_value since it
also operates on preempt threads now
- _set_thread_return_value_with_data() sets the swap_data field in
addition to a return value from _Swap()
- convenience aliases are created for shorter names:
- _current is defined as _nanokernel.current
- _ready_q is defined as _nanokernel.ready_q
- _Swap() sets the threads's return code to -EAGAIN before swapping out
to prevent timeouts to have to set it (solves hard issues in some
kernel objects).

Fibers initialize this back pointer to NULL as they are (by definition)
not microkernel tasks. Microkernel tasks initialize it to their
corresponding 'ktask_t'.
However for nanokernel systems, the back pointer is always NULL. This
is because there is only one task in a nanokernel system (the background
task) and it can not pend on a nanokernel object--it must poll.

The thread monitor allows to iterate over the thread context
structures for each existing thread (fiber/task) in the system.
Thread context structures do not expose thread entry information
directly. Although all the information can be scavenged from memory
stacks. Besides, accessing the information depends on the stack
implementation for each architecture.
By extending the tcs we allow a direct access to the thread
entry point and its parameters, only when thread monitor is
enabled.
It also allows a task to access its kernel task structure
through the first parameter of the thread.
This allows a debugger application to access the information directly
from the thread context structures list.
