Instead of loading all indexed doxygen symbols in one page, we
use the defined groups to load the API documentation in the specific
sections and reduce the trash coming from doxygen to just what we
need.

Revises microkernel object sections to make it clear that objects
are referenced by name. (e.g. MY_TASK) Also adds text to make it
clear that task groups are named entities.

Corrects the description of the priority inheritance algorithm used by mutexes.
It also draws attention to one of its short-comings.

Adds a short section describing the nanokernel's background task.
This section is modelled on the section for microkernel tasks,
but excludes areas that aren't applicable to the background task.

Adds a short section to make clear that microkernel applications
can utilize fibers, and can even use them with a few microkernel
object types. Revises some link names to account for the fact that
there are now 2 sections describing fiber services.

The kernel's services previously referred to as "signalling services",
which include object types such as semaphores, events, and mutexes,
are now referred to as "synchronization services". This term more
clearly conveys their use as a means to synchronize the operation
of two or more entities within the kernel.

and "private object" terminology now covered in the kernel

Previous names, focusing on 'async', were misleading, because:
- some of those APIs can be used synchronously as well
- other APIs can also do asynchronous transfer, and don't have 'async'
in their names
- the key concept of these APIs is that they use memory pool blocks
rather than raw data buffers.

Removes an unnecessary level of headings in the microkernel and
nanokernel sections of the Zephyr kernel documentation, providing
users with direct access to the major service areas of the
microkernel and nanokernel from the main kernel web page. Also
greatly reduces the introductory text for these 2 sections,
since users can now easily find out what the various subsections
provide by simply clicking on them.
