David B. Kinder ec1b1df5ed doc: fix ReST heading underlines
The expected order for heading levels in our ReST documents is # for H1,
* for H2, = for H3, and - for H4.  Some documents snuck in without
following this guideline.

Sebastian Bøe 13a6840261 cmake: Re-organize syscall generation wrt. the build system
This commit fixes
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/5008.

It does so by splitting up gen_syscalls.py into two scripts with a
json metadata file to communicate syscall metadata between them. The
parsing script parses header files from include/ and writes syscall
metadata to a file if the contents changed. The generation script
reads from the json file and generates syscall code.

The build system DAG now looks like this:

always_rebuild -> json -> syscalls -> offset.o

The script for generating json will do so only if the content changes,
this ensures that the entire DAG does not always do a full rebuild.

Andrew Boie 2d2a97b3f6 docs: initial user mode documentation
This initial batch of documentation describes policies and
mechanism related to kernel objects and system calls.

Some details on porting user mode to a new arch have been
provided in the architecture porting guide.

Thread documentation updated with some user mode consideration.

This is not the final documentation, more to come in subsequent
patches.
