87564a4602 pipes/mailboxes: rename functions using mem blocks
task_pipe_put_async -> task_pipe_block_put

  task_mbox_put_async -> task_mbox_block_put

  task_mbox_data_get_async_block -> task_mbox_data_block_get
  task_mbox_data_get_async_block_wait -> task_mbox_data_block_get_wait
  task_mbox_data_get_async_block_wait_timeout ->
       task_mbox_data_block_get_wait_timeout

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.

10ba8f7e6e doc: Improve accessibility of microkernel and nanokernel info
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.
