Static code analyser (SCA) tools are important in software development.
CMake offers built-in support for some tools, such as cppcheck and
clang-tidy.
Other tools, such as sparse, are not directly supported.
This commit provides a uniform way for users to specify a supported
SCA using `ZEPHYR_SCA_VARIANT=<tool>` which is consistent with how
toolchains are specified.
ZEPHYR_SCA_VARIANT can be set using `-D` or in environment.
Support for an SCA tool is done in `cmake/sca/<tool>/sca.cmake`.
SCA_ROOT can be used to specify additional search paths when looking up
implementation for a tool. SCA_ROOT can also be specified in
`zephyr/module.yml` as setting. This makes it possible to provide SCA
tool implementation as part of a Zephyr module.

Follow-up: #41301
This commit is a rework and cleanup of the target toolchain handling in
Zephyr CMake build system.
Instead of directly loading code a CMake modules for target toolchain
lookup, the target toolchain now follows the CMake `find_package()`
pattern for finding the target toolchain.
This makes it more clear which modules are responsible for finding tools
and which modules provides build integration / features.
The following tools can now be found using `find_package()`:
- Target toolchain: find_package(TargetTools)

Optional way for generating symbols file using binutils. This file will
be generated on demand for tests which will then be parsed by twister to
create an accurate test plan from the listed testcase/suites.

Create a cmake/modules folder containing all Zephyr CMake modules.
All Zephyr cmake files that are included from boilerplate are now
converted into CMake modules which can be individually loaded.
The Zephyr CMake package is updated to support loading of individual
CMake modules using the COMPONENTS argument to `find_package(Zephyr)`.
If the COMPONENTS argument is not specified, the default Zephyr build
system will load.
If COMPONENTS is specified then, only those components and the
dependencies will be loaded.
If a Zephyr CMake module depends on another CMake module which has not
been loaded, it will automatically be loaded.
This allows us to modularize and reuse individual parts of the Zephyr
CMake build system in a more flexible way in future.
Such usage could be:
- Higher livel multi image build system
- Invocation of individual components, for example dts processing by
twister without loading all build code
- Doc build
- Unittesting
With this new CMake package and CMake module scheme then direct
sourcing of boilerplate.cmake has been deprecated.
