Keith Packard 0b90fd5adf samples, tests, boards: Switch main return type from void to int
As both C and C++ standards require applications running under an OS to
return 'int', adapt that for Zephyr to align with those standard. This also
eliminates errors when building with clang when not using -ffreestanding,
and reduces the need for compiler flags to silence warnings for both clang
and gcc.

Most of these changes were automated using coccinelle with the following
script:

@@
@@
- void
+ int
main(...) {
	...
-	return;
+	return 0;
	...
}

Approximately 40 files had to be edited by hand as coccinelle was unable to
fix them.

Minimal footprint
#################

Overview
********

This sample provides an empty ``main()`` and various configuration files that
can be used to measure Zephyr's minimal ROM footprint in different
configurations.

The following configuration files are available:

* :file:`mt.conf`: Enable multithreading
* :file:`no-mt.conf`: Disable multithreading
* :file:`no-preempt.conf`: Disable preemption
* :file:`no-timers.conf`: Disable timers
* :file:`arm.conf`: Arm-specific disabling of features

Building and measuring ROM size
*******************************

The following combinations are suggested for comparing ROM sizes in different
configurations. They all target the :ref:`reel_board` (Arm Aarch32 architecture).

* Multithreading enabled

  * Reference ROM size: 7-8KB
