This is an alternate backend that does what THREAD_RUNTIME_STATS is
doing currently, but with a few advantages:
* Correctly synchronized: you can't race against a running thread
(potentially on another CPU!) while querying its usage.
* Realtime results: you get the right answer always, up to timer
precision, even if a thread has been running for a while
uninterrupted and hasn't updated its total.
* Portable, no need for per-architecture code at all for the simple
case. (It leverages the USE_SWITCH layer to do this, so won't work
on older architectures)
* Faster/smaller: minimizes use of 64 bit math; lower overhead in
thread struct (keeps the scratch "started" time in the CPU struct
instead). One 64 bit counter per thread and a 32 bit scratch
register in the CPU struct.
* Standalone. It's a core (but optional) scheduler feature, no
dependence on para-kernel configuration like the tracing
infrastructure.
* More precise: allows architectures to optionally call a trivial
zero-argument/no-result cdecl function out of interrupt entry to
avoid accounting for ISR runtime in thread totals. No configuration
needed here, if it's called then you get proper ISR accounting, and
if not you don't.
For right now, pending unification, it's added side-by-side with the
older API and left as a z_*() internal symbol.
