Peter Bigot 14e2ca4f16 sys: onoff: redesign to meet changed needs
The previous architecture proved unable to support user expectations,
so the API has been rebuilt from first principles.  Backward
compatibility cannot be maintained for this change.

Key changes include:

* Formerly the service-provided transition functions were allowed to
  sleep, and the manager took care to not invoke them from ISR
  context, instead returning an error if unable to initiate a
  transition.  In the new architecture transition functions are
  required to work regardless of calling context: it is the service's
  responsibility to guarantee the transition will proceed even if it
  needs to be transferred to a thread.  This eliminates state machine
  complexities related to calling context.
* Constants identifying the visible state of the manager are exposed
  to clients through both notification callbacks and a new monitor API
  that allows clients to be notified of all state changes.
* Formerly the release operation was async, and would be delayed for the
  last release to ensure a client would exist to be notified of any
  failures.  It is now synchronous.
* Formerly the cancel operation would fail on the last client associated
  with a transition.  The cancel operation is now synchronous.
* A helper function is provided to safely synchronously release a
  request regardless of whether it has completed or is in progress,
  satisfying the use case underlying #22974.
* The user-data parameter to asynchronous notification callbacks has
  been removed as user data can be retrieved from the CONTAINER_OF
  the client data.
