This commit introduces a dedicated unit testing board.
Today, a dedicated Zephyr unit testing scheme exists but is different
from how a Zephyr build generally works.
For example Kconfig is not possible, resulting on various different
hacks to pass Kconfig settings from test cases / testcase.yaml through
CMake to the code.
Some directly as compile definitions, some as header files with forced
inclusion on sources, some with wrapper flags which again results in
different define being enabled. There is even cases where a second
forced header inclusion undefines previous defines.
Unit test often does a manual check for the right boards, like this:
> if (NOT BOARD STREQUAL unit_testing)
> message(FATAL_ERROR "This project can only be used with...")
> endif()
Introducing a dedicated unit_testing board under `tests/root` allows
us to use Kconfig in unit test samples, and thus proper `prj.conf` and
extra Kconfig fragments.
Generation of autoconf.h so the overall architecture follows regular
Zephyr builds.
Proper and uniform error messages when invalid board is selected.
The unit_testing board and arch is located under: `subsys/testsuite` so
that it is only available when find_package(Zephyr COMPONENTS unittest)
is used, and not available for regular Zephyr builds.
Kconfig generates autoconf.h which is applied as compile flag to
test binary which means that kconfig defines placed in ztest.h can now
be removed.

Create a cmake/modules folder containing all Zephyr CMake modules.
All Zephyr cmake files that are included from boilerplate are now
converted into CMake modules which can be individually loaded.
The Zephyr CMake package is updated to support loading of individual
CMake modules using the COMPONENTS argument to `find_package(Zephyr)`.
If the COMPONENTS argument is not specified, the default Zephyr build
system will load.
If COMPONENTS is specified then, only those components and the
dependencies will be loaded.
If a Zephyr CMake module depends on another CMake module which has not
been loaded, it will automatically be loaded.
This allows us to modularize and reuse individual parts of the Zephyr
CMake build system in a more flexible way in future.
Such usage could be:
- Higher livel multi image build system
- Invocation of individual components, for example dts processing by
twister without loading all build code
- Doc build
- Unittesting
With this new CMake package and CMake module scheme then direct
sourcing of boilerplate.cmake has been deprecated.
