zephyr/samples/net/promiscuous_mode
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.

Promiscuous Mode Sample Application
###################################

Overview
********

This application will enable promiscuous mode for every network
interface in the system. It will then start to listen for incoming
network packets and show information about them.

The application will also provide a shell so that user can enable
or disable promiscuous mode at runtime. The commands are called
``promisc on`` and ``promisc off``.

Building and Running
********************

There are multiple ways to use this application. In this example QEMU
is used:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/net/promiscuous_mode
   :board: qemu_x86
   :conf: <config file to use>
   :goals: build
   :compact:
