One might want to select the symbols to be relocated inside a file or
a library. To do this, one can use the FILTER argument of
zephyr_code_relocate which must contain a regular expression of the
section names to be selected for relocation.
The test_function_in_sram2 test case in
`tests/application_development/code_relocation` has been updated to
verify that only one function `function_in_sram()` is relocated to ram
and that the function `function_not_relocated()` is not being relocated
when using relocation filter.

When using the code and data relocation feature, every relocated symbol
would be marked with `KEEP()` in the generated linker script. Therefore,
if any input files contained unused code, then it wouldn't be discarded
by the linker, even when invoked with `--gc-sections`.
This can cause unexpected bloat, or other link-time issues stemming from
some symbols being discarded and others not.
On the other hand, this behavior has been present since the feature's
introduction, so it should remain default for the users who rely on it.
This patch introduces support for `zephyr_code_relocate(... NOKEEP)`.
This will suppress the generation of `KEEP()` statements for all symbols
in a particular library or set of files.
Much like `NOCOPY`, the `NOKEEP` flag is passed to `gen_relocate_app.py`
in string form. The script is now equipped to handle multiple such flags
when passed from CMake as a semicolon-separated list, like so:
"SRAM2:NOCOPY;NOKEEP:/path/to/file1.c;/path/to/file2.c"
Documentation and tests are updated here as well.

Add test cases for generator expressions and library relocation to
the code_relocation test, in order to verify functionality for these
new API features.

Update usage of zephyr_code_relocate to follow new API. The old method
of relocating a file was the following directive:
zephyr_code_relocate(file location)
The new API for zephyr_code_relocate uses the following directive:
zephyr_code_relocate(FILES file LOCATION location)
update in tree usage to follow this model. Also, update the NXP HAL SHA,
as NXP's HAL uses this macro as well.

Besides adding ARCH_HAS_CODE_DATA_RELOCATION, this patch also adds
support for the "sample_controller" SoC (used by qemu_xtensa) as
demonstration.
As Xtensa lacks a common linker script at the arch level, enabling it
for each platform will be a piecemeal effort. This patch adds it to the
`soc/xtensa/sample_controller` SoC. Basically, default RAMABLE_REGION is
set to be called "RAM", and hooks are inserted so that
gen_relocate_app.py can add the relevant linker bits.
Also, `tests/application_developent/code_relocation` was tweaked to
support the qemu_xtensa platform. Basically, add the relevant linker
script and ensure that relevant memory regions have their program header
(PHDR) associated.

It's useful for RAMABLE_REGION to have a uniform name when
CODE_DATA_RELOCATION is supported, because otherwise the build system
needs to be aware of how the region name differs between architectures.
Since architectures tend to prefer one of 'SRAM' or 'RAM' for that
region, prefer to use 'RAM' as the more general term.

This implements support for relocating code to chosen memory regions via
the `zephyr_code_relocate` CMake function for RISC-V SoCs. ARM-specific
assumptions that were made by gen_relocate_app.py need to be corrected,
in particular not assuming any particular name for the default RAM
section (which is 'SRAM' for most ARM pltaforms) and not assuming 32-bit
pointers (so the test works on RV64).
