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

Revise instructions to take advantage of the "public object"
and "private object" terminology now covered in the kernel
overview documentation. Also incorporates some missing information
the users need to be aware of when defining certain object types.

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.

Moves the Microkernel Object documentation to a new Microkernel Services

headings and filenames were updated to reflect the new structure.
