Andrew Boie 0b474eef9c kernel: deprecate old init levels
PRIMARY, SECONDARY, NANOKERNEL, MICROKERNEL init levels are now
deprecated.

New init levels introduced: PRE_KERNEL_1, PRE_KERNEL_2, POST_KERNEL
to replace them.

Most existing code has instances of PRIMARY replaced with PRE_KERNEL_1,
SECONDARY with POST_KERNEL as SECONDARY has had a longstanding bug
where the documentation specified SECONDARY ran before the kernel started
up, but actually ran afterwards.

Marcus Shawcroft 0b441518d9 docs: Adjust driver documentation to show const config_info example.
The driver config structure should be const, that can't happen until
various existing drivers are cleaned up, but it is safe for all
drivers that use config_info to treat it as const.  Update the drivers
documentation to depict this usage.

Allan Stephens 70e4a80360 doc: Purge inappropriate fundamentals info from Kernel Primer
Incorporates the brief discussion of device driver support into
the Device Drivers document, so that the driver material is all
in one place. (Also converts a few unprintable characters in the
latter document to spaces, since they appear to have been used
by accident.)

Removes the empty discussion of networking support, to avoid
duplicating stuff already covered in the Networking document.

Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 6a8255d3ac doc: fix duplicate link warning
To fix, insert the synchronous_calls.rst file inside drivers.rst; they
are both small enough. Plus, none was calling that link anyway.

Daniel Leung ce2e4ebdf1 device: add macro to assign driver_api at compile time
This adds the DEVICE_AND_API_INIT() macro to take in a parameter
to assign to device->driver_api. This eliminates the need to
assign to driver_api during runtime device initialization.

This provides an alternative way to declare devices. This should
save a few bytes in ROM for those devices that will never fail
initialization (in other words, never need to manipulate
driver_api pointer at all).

Also clean up the documentation a bit to remove duplicated
block of information.
