The term 'context' is vague and overloaded. Its usage for 'an execution
context' is now referred as such, in both comments and some APIs' names.
When the execution context can only be a fiber or a task (i.e. not an
ISR), it is referred to as a 'thread', again in comments and everywhere
in the code.
APIs that had their names changed:
- nano_context_id_t is now nano_thread_id_t
- context_self_get() is now sys_thread_self_get()
- context_type_get() is now sys_execution_context_type_get()
- context_custom_data_set/get() are now
sys_thread_custom_data_set/get()
The 'context' prefix namespace does not have to be reserved by the
kernel anymore.
The Context Control Structure (CCS) data structure is now the Thread
Control Structure (TCS):
- struct ccs is now struct tcs
- tCCS is now tTCS

Standardize on using the irq_lock/irq_unlock (non-inline) symbols
everywhere.
The non-inline versions provide absolutely no benefits, so they will be
removed in a subsequent commit, and the inline versions will have their
_inline suffix removed.

The change replaces multiple asterisks to ** at
the beginning of comments and adds a space before
the asterisks at the beginning of lines.

The new name better reflects that this file contains all private
nanokernel APIs that are used by various kernel subsystems.

This new API allows starting a fiber with a delay. It returns a handle
to allow cancelling it before the fiber starts, via the cancel API.
It also adds an API allowing a fiber to sleep for a given amount of
ticks.
NOTE: CONFIG_NANO_TIMEOUTS must be enabled.

1) Renames routine to conform to kernel naming conventions.
2) Relocates routine declaration to include files for
non-public nanokernel APIs.
3) Relocates routine definition so that it resides with the
nanokernel's other fiber manipulation routines.
4) Eliminates an unnecessary argument to the routine.

Instead of initializing the stack (when INIT_STACKS is enabled) in start_task()
and _fiber_start(), do it in _NewContext(). This helps to both reduce code
duplication AND ensure that all contexts get an initialized stack (previously
the background/idle task's was missed).

Since the address of the new context is known before _NewContext() is invoked
(due to it being passed a properly aligned stack), there is no longer any
need for _NewContext to return the pointer to the context.
Furthermore, as a direct result of the properly aligned stack, the pointer to
the new context does not need to be passed as a separate parameter since it
will always match the passed stack pointer.

Since the kernel now provides a minimal string library, there is
no longer any reason not to use the standard memset() and memcpy()
APIs.

Makes various nanokernel file names more accurately reflect their
actual roles, and improves consistency with other naming conventions.
