Nicolas Pitre points out that since these thread structs are just
dummies for the context swtiching, they can be presumed to be "write
only" and thus there's no point in having one per CPU, everyone can
share the same one.
The only gotcha is that we never really documented (nor really have a
place to document) that rule, so it's not theoretically impossible for
an architecture to read back what it might have written underneath
arch_switch(). Leave this in a separate commit for bisection
purposes, but the risk seems very low.

After a k_thread_abort(), the resulting thread struct is documented as
unused/free memory that may be re-used (for example, to respawn a new
thread).
But in the special case of aborting the current thread from within an
ISR, that wasn't quite happening. The scheduler cleanup would
complete, but the architecture layer would still try to context switch
away from the aborted thread on exit, and that can include writes to
the now-reused thread struct! The specifics will depend on
architecture (some do a full context save on entry, most don't), but
in the case of USE_SWITCH=y it will at the very least write the
switch_handle field.
Fix this simply, with a per-cpu "switch dummy" thread struct for use
as a target for context switches like this. There is some non-trivial
memory cost to that; thread structs on many architectures are large.
Pleasingly, this also addresses a known deadlock on SMP: because the
"spin in ISR" step now happens as the very last stage of
k_thread_abort() handling, the existing scheduler lock works to
serialize calls such that it's impossible for a cycle of threads to
independently decide to spin on each other: at least one will see
itself as "already aborting" and break the cycle.

After the move to C files we got some drop in the performance when
running latency_measure. This patch declares the priority queue
functions as static inlines with minor optimizations.
The result for one metric (on qemu):
3.6 and before the anything was changed:
Get data from LIFO (w/ ctx switch): 13087 ns
after original change (46484da502):
Get data from LIFO (w/ ctx switch): 13663 ns
with this change:
Get data from LIFO (w/ ctx switch): 12543 ns
So overall, a net gain of ~ 500ns that can be seen across the board on many
of the metrics.

This adds the mechanism to do cleanup after k_thread_abort()
is called with the current thread. This is mainly used for
cleaning up things when the thread cannot be running, e.g.,
cleanup the thread stack.

In many cases suspending or resuming of a device is limited to
just a few register writes. Current solution assumes that those
operations may be blocking, asynchronous and take a lot of time.
Due to this assumption runtime PM API cannot be effectively used
from the interrupt context. Zephyr has few driver APIs which
can be used from an interrupt context and now use of runtime PM
is limited in those cases.
Patch introduces a new type of PM device - synchronous PM. If
device is specified as capable of synchronous PM operations then
device runtime getting and putting is executed in the critical
section. In that case, runtime API can be used from an interrupt
context. Additionally, this approach reduces RAM needed for
PM device (104 -> 20 bytes of RAM on ARM Cortex-M).

There are several subsystems and boards which require a relatively large
system heap (used by k_malloc()) to function properly. This became even
more notable with the recent introduction of the ACPICA library, which
causes ACPI-using boards to require a system heap of up to several
megabytes in size.
Until now, subsystems and boards have tried to solve this by having
Kconfig overlays which modify the default value of HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE.
This works ok, except when applications start explicitly setting values
in their prj.conf files:
$ git grep CONFIG_HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE= tests samples|wc -l
157
The vast majority of values set by current sample or test applications
is much too small for subsystems like ACPI, which results in the
application not being able to run on such boards.
To solve this situation, we introduce support for subsystems to specify
their own custom system heap size requirement. Subsystems do
this by defining Kconfig options with the prefix HEAP_MEM_POOL_ADD_SIZE_.
The final value of the system heap is the sum of the custom
minimum requirements, or the value existing HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE option,
whichever is greater.
We also introduce a new HEAP_MEM_POOL_IGNORE_MIN Kconfig option which
applications can use to force a lower value than what subsystems have
specficied, however this behavior is disabled by default.
Whenever the minimum is greater than the requested value a CMake warning
will be issued in the build output.
This patch ends up modifying several places outside of kernel code,
since the presence of the system heap is no longer detected using a
non-zero CONFIG_HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE value, rather it's now detected using
a new K_HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE value that's evaluated at build.
