There are files in the cloned copy of the Zephyr tree needed to setup

This change changes the semantics of the environment variable
ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR to allow the use of 3rd party toolchains
alongside the Zephyr SDK's host tools.
Specifically, setting ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR now indicates that the
Zephyr SDK host tools are to be used. But not necessarily that the
Zephyr SDK's toolchain is to be used.
The documentation is also changed to explain this behaviour.

This introduces an schema-based YAML validation process when loading
any YAML file, before doing any operations on them. An exception will
be raised at SanityConfigParser() if the file fails to verify with the
given schema.
Schemas are defined for the platform files in board///*.yaml and for
the (sample|testcase).yaml files. The verification is done using the
pykwalify python library. If not installed, a warning is printed and
the verification schema is skipped. At some point, we might want to
force it being installed.
The verification library is made a separate module (scl.py) so it can
be easily imported by others.

ReST defines interpreted text roles where text enclosed by single quotes
can be "intrepreted", for example :ref:`some name` becomes a link to
a label anywhere in the doc set named "some name", :c:func:`funcname()`
becomes a link to the API documentation for "funcname", and
:option:`CONFIG_NAME` becomes a link to, in our case, the documentation
for the generated Kconfig option.
This patch fixes uses of `some name` (without a role) by either adding
an explicit role, or changing to ``some name``, which indicates inline
code block formatting (most likely what was intended).
This is a precursor to changing the default behavior of interpreted
text to treat `some name` as :any:`some name` (as configured in
doc/conf.py), which would attempt to create a link to any available
definition of "some name".
We may not change this default role behavior, but it becomes an option
after the fixes in this patch. In any case, this patch fixes incorrect
uses of single-quoted text (possibly introduced because GitHub's
markdown language uses single-quoted text for inline code formatting).

Add instructions to build the DTC from Windows, note that the following
2 caveats apply:
* The flex version needs to be pinned to 2.6.0 because of a bug with the
current MSYS2 flex
* The repository to clone DTC from is currently my own on GH while
waiting for a patch to be accepted upstream
Additionally this removes the python2 requirement and adds documentation
on installing pip an pyaml.
