Rework bbc:microbit display support to use nRF LED matrix
display controller driver and allow to use it with
bbc:microbit v2 board.
This patch turns the driver into a higher level driver
using the display controller API. Code that directly
accesses hardware (GPIO) is removed.
This driver is reworked to be more generic. It still
has a lot of potential for improvement, but it requires
changes in all applications that use this tool.

Add a k_timeout_t type, and use it everywhere that kernel API
functions were accepting a millisecond timeout argument. Instead of
forcing milliseconds everywhere (which are often not integrally
representable as system ticks), do the conversion to ticks at the
point where the timeout is created. This avoids an extra unit
conversion in some application code, and allows us to express the
timeout in units other than milliseconds to achieve greater precision.
The existing K_MSEC() et. al. macros now return initializers for a
k_timeout_t.
The K_NO_WAIT and K_FOREVER constants have now become k_timeout_t
values, which means they cannot be operated on as integers.
Applications which have their own APIs that need to inspect these
vs. user-provided timeouts can now use a K_TIMEOUT_EQ() predicate to
test for equality.
Timer drivers, which receive an integer tick count in ther
z_clock_set_timeout() functions, now use the integer-valued
K_TICKS_FOREVER constant instead of K_FOREVER.
For the initial release, to preserve source compatibility, a
CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API kconfig is provided. When true, the
k_timeout_t will remain a compatible 32 bit value that will work with
any legacy Zephyr application.
Some subsystems present timeout (or timeout-like) values to their own
users as APIs that would re-use the kernel's own constants and
conventions. These will require some minor design work to adapt to
the new scheme (in most cases just using k_timeout_t directly in their
own API), and they have not been changed in this patch, instead
selecting CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API via kconfig. These subsystems
include: CAN Bus, the Microbit display driver, I2S, LoRa modem
drivers, the UART Async API, Video hardware drivers, the console
subsystem, and the network buffer abstraction.
k_sleep() now takes a k_timeout_t argument, with a k_msleep() variant
provided that works identically to the original API.
Most of the changes here are just type/configuration management and
documentation, but there are logic changes in mempool, where a loop
that used a timeout numerically has been reworked using a new
z_timeout_end_calc() predicate. Also in queue.c, a (when POLL was
enabled) a similar loop was needlessly used to try to retry the
k_poll() call after a spurious failure. But k_poll() does not fail
spuriously, so the loop was removed.

I think people might be reading differences into 'if' and 'depends on'
that aren't there, like maybe 'if' being needed to "hide" a symbol,
while 'depends on' just adds a dependency.
There are no differences between 'if' and 'depends on'. 'if' is just a
shorthand for 'depends on'. They work the same when it comes to creating
implicit menus too.
The way symbols get "hidden" is through their dependencies not being
satisfied ('if'/'depends on' get copied up as a dependency on the
prompt).
Since 'if' and 'depends on' are the same, an 'if' with just a single
symbol in it can be replaced with a 'depends on'. IMO, it's best to
avoid 'if' there as a style choice too, because it confuses people into
thinking there's deep Kconfig magic going on that requires 'if'.
Going for 'depends on' can also remove some nested 'if's, which
generates nicer symbol information and docs, because nested 'if's really
are so simple/dumb that they just add the dependencies from both 'if's
to all symbols within.
Replace a bunch of single-symbol 'if's with 'depends on' to despam the
Kconfig files a bit and make it clearer how things work. Also do some
other minor related dependency refactoring.
The replacement isn't complete. Will fix up the rest later. Splitting it
a bit to make it more manageable.
(Everything above is true for choices, menus, and comments as well.)
Detected by tweaking the Kconfiglib parsing code. It's impossible to
detect after parsing, because 'if' turns into 'depends on'.

Use this short header style in all Kconfig files:
# <description>
# <copyright>
# <license>
...
Also change all <description>s from
# Kconfig[.extension] - Foo-related options
to just
# Foo-related options
It's clear enough that it's about Kconfig.
The <description> cleanup was done with this command, along with some
manual cleanup (big letter at the start, etc.)
