Currently when a node has a 'zephyr,memory-region' compatible and a
'zephyr,memory-region' string property, a new memory region is created
in the linker script.
Having a memory region without a section to place variables in could be
not that useful. With this patch we extend the memory-region mechanism
to also create sections.
The user can then place variables in the sections as usual by using for
example the GCC attributes.

As already done for the regular linker script, dinamically generates the
memory regions with the 'zephyr,memory-region' compatible also when
using the cmake linker generator.

Fixes: #41435
The use of %<symbol>% works well in Linux and MacOS but when passed
to the linker script generator in Windows the %<symbol>% is processed
by the windows shell causing the value to disappear and thus an empty
value inside the generated ld linker script or scatter file.
This is fixed by using the @ character instead of the % character.

Remove the `NAME` function argument from `zephyr_linker_dts_memory` as
the name is now automatically derived from the devicetree node.

The root cause of #38591 was region symbols being placed before the
section description for data region.
To support both schemes with the linker generator, a new
`SYMBOL SECTION` argument has been added to the zephyr_linker_group()
function.
This commit updates the arm/linker.cmake CMake linker file to use the
new `SYMBOL SECTION` argument for the data region group and text region
group so that those two groups now behave identical to the behavior when
using the cortex_m linker.ld template.

This commit add devicetree memory regions added to arm/linker.cmake.
The following memory regions are now added to the generated linker
script and scatter file if they exists in the devicetree.
- chosen: zephyr,itcm
- chosen: zephyr,dtcm
- nodelabel: ti_ccfg_partition
- nodelabel: sram1
- nodelabel: sram2
- nodelabel: sram3
- nodelabel: sram4
- nodelabel: sdram1
- nodelabel: sdram2
- nodelabel: backup_sram
Also support for the itcm and dtcm section and their placement in
corresponding memory regions has been added.

This is the initial version of a Zephyr CMake linker file for the arm
architecture.
This file defines memory regions, groups, linker sections and symbols
for the arm architecture.
It also sources the common common-ram.cmake, common-rom.cmake,
debug-sections,cmake, and thread-local-storage.cmake.
It configure sections for SoC families using zephyr_linker_sources()
functions:
- nxp_imx
