Gerard Marull-Paretas 79e6b0e0f6 includes: prefer <zephyr/kernel.h> over <zephyr/zephyr.h>
As of today <zephyr/zephyr.h> is 100% equivalent to <zephyr/kernel.h>.
This patch proposes to then include <zephyr/kernel.h> instead of
<zephyr/zephyr.h> since it is more clear that you are including the
Kernel APIs and (probably) nothing else. <zephyr/zephyr.h> sounds like a
catch-all header that may be confusing. Most applications need to
include a bunch of other things to compile, e.g. driver headers or
subsystem headers like BT, logging, etc.

The idea of a catch-all header in Zephyr is probably not feasible
anyway. Reason is that Zephyr is not a library, like it could be for
example `libpython`. Zephyr provides many utilities nowadays: a kernel,
drivers, subsystems, etc and things will likely grow. A catch-all header
would be massive, difficult to keep up-to-date. It is also likely that
an application will only build a small subset. Note that subsystem-level
headers may use a catch-all approach to make things easier, though.

NOTE: This patch is **NOT** removing the header, just removing its usage
in-tree. I'd advocate for its deprecation (add a #warning on it), but I
understand many people will have concerns.

Bluetooth: Eddystone
####################

Overview
********
Application demonstrating `Eddystone Configuration Service`_

The Eddystone Configuration Service runs as a GATT service on the beacon while
it is connectable and allows configuration of the advertised data, the
broadcast power levels, and the advertising intervals. It also forms part of
the definition of how Eddystone-EID beacons are configured and registered with
a trusted resolver.


Requirements
************

* BlueZ running on the host, or
* A board with BLE support

Building and Running
********************
This sample can be found under :zephyr_file:`samples/bluetooth/eddystone` in the
Zephyr tree.
