This commit reworks the linker script generation and linking stages in
order to better support fixed section location as required by #38836.
Today we have the following generated linker scripts and the elf output
depending on the system configuration:
- linker_app_smem_unaligned.cmd --> app_smem_unaligned_prebuilt.elf
- linker_zephyr_prebuilt.cmd --> zephyr_prebuilt.elf
- linker.cmd --> zephyr.elf
as not all linker scripts may be created and as there is a need for the
possibility to move gen handles earlier then those stages has been
renamed into more generic names so that with this commit we have:
- linker_zephyr_pre0.cmd --> zephyr_pre0.elf
- linker_zephyr_pre1.cmd --> zephyr_pre1.elf
- linker.cmd --> zephyr.elf
This also means that is the stage zephyr_pre1 is not needed, then build
can go from `zephyr_pre0.elf` to `zephyr.elf`.
The gen_handles.py has been changed so it now uses `zephyr_pre0.elf` as
input. This ensures that the handles array are final when invoking the
next build and linking stages.
To keep the current behavior of generating the isr table and kobj hash
of what was `zephyr_prebuilt` stage the code blocks contolling isr
generation and kobj hash has been relocated to be located after
app_smem and device handle generation.

To prepare for linker script creation with flexible number of linker
passes depending on system configuration then the Zephyr CMake linker
script generator has been updated to use pass names instead of pass
numbers.
This allows greater flexibility as a section can now be active based on
the settings on the pass and not the linking pass index number.
As part of this, the `PASS` processing in `linker_script_common.cmake`
has been adjusted so that it properly handles when a linking pass is
handling multiple settings, such as both `LINKER_APP_SMEM_UNALIGNED`
and `DEVICE_HANDLES_PASS1` in same linking pass.
As the number of linking passes are more flexible, then the PASS
argument in `zephyr_linker_section()` and
`zephyr_linker_section_configure()` has been updated to also support
a `NOT <name>` argument, for example: `PASS NOT LINKER_ZEPHYR_FINAL`.

Converted existing ld script templates into CMake files.
This commit takes the common-ram.ld, common-rom.ld, debug-sections.ld,
and thread-local-storage.ld and creates corresponding CMake files for
the linker script generator.
The CMake files uses the new Zephyr CMake functions:
- zephyr_linker_section()
- zephyr_linker_section_configure()
- zephyr_linker_section_obj_level()
to generate the same linker result as the existing C preprocessor based
scheme.
