This was never a long-term solution, more of a gross hack
to get test cases working until we could figure out a good
end-to-end solution for memory domains that generated
appropriate linker sections. Now that we have this with
the app shared memory feature, and have converted all tests
to remove it, delete this feature.
To date all userspace APIs have been tagged as 'experimental'
which sidesteps deprecation policies.

Add descriptions and doxygen groups for app_memory,
stack_protection, stack_randomization and
obj_validation.

Dynamic kernel objects no longer is hard-coded to use the kernel
heap. Instead, objects will now be drawn from the calling thread's
resource pool.
Since we now have a reference counting mechanism, if an object
loses all its references and it was dynamically allocated, it will
be automatically freed.
A parallel dlist is added for efficient iteration over the set of
all dynamic objects, allowing deletion during iteration.

If a variable is declared extern first, the name and type
information is stored in a special DW_DIE_variable which
is then referenced by the actual instances via the
tag DW_AT_specification.
We now place extern variable instances in an extern environment
and use this data to fetch the name/type of the instances,
which do not have it (which is why they were being skipped).
As it turns out, the gross hack for the system workqueue was
due to this problem because of the extern declaration in
kernel.h.
Fixes: #6992

A red-black tree is maintained containing the metadata for all
dynamically created kernel objects, which are allocated out of the
system heap.
Currently, k_object_alloc() and k_object_free() are supervisor-only.

We also need macros to assert that an object must be in an
uninitialized state. This will be used for validating thread
and stack objects to k_thread_create(), which must not be already
in use.

- Dumping error messages split from _k_object_validate(), to avoid spam
in test cases that are expected to have failure result.
- _k_object_find() prototype moved to syscall_handler.h
- Clean up k_object_access() implementation to avoid double object
lookup and use single validation function
- Added comments, minor whitespace changes

This API only gets used inside system call handlers and a specific test
case dedicated to it. Move definition to the private kernel header along
with the rest of the defines for system call handlers.
A non-userspace inline variant of this function is unnecessary and has
been deleted.

All moved under tests/kernel/mem_protect to reduce clutter. Many more
tests are coming for 1.10 and 1.11.
