Ederson de Souza d156a03074 cmake: New target which generates a sort of development kit for llext
Loadable extensions need access to Zephyr (and Zephyr application)
includes and some CFLAGS to be properly built. This patch adds a new
target, `llext-edk`, which generates a tar file with those includes and
flags that can be loaded from cmake and make files.

A Zephyr application willing to expose some API to extensions it loads
only need to add the include directories describing such APIs to the
Zephyr ones via zephyr_include_directories() CMake call.

A new Kconfig option, CONFIG_LLEXT_EDK_NAME allows one to control some
aspects of the generated file, which enables some customization - think
of an application called ACME, willing to have a ACME_EXTENSION_KIT or
something.

All EDK Kconfig options are behind CONFIG_LLEXT_EDK, which doesn't
depend on LLEXT directly - so that EDK features can be leveraged by
downstream variations of loadable extensions.

Also, each arch may need different compiler flags for extensions: those
are handled by the `LLEXT_CFLAGS` cmake flag. An example is set for GCC
ARM.

Finally, EDK throughout this patch means Extension Development Kit,
which is a bad name, but at least doesn't conflict with SDK.
