Arm Toolchain for Embedded (ATfE) is the next-generation Arm embedded
C/C++ compilation toolchain.
Arm Toolchain for Embedded is 100% open source. Arm is investing in the
LLVM linker and minor tools, and in the Picolib C library, to create a
performant 100% open source compilation toolchain for embedded
development with Arm-based designs.
The proprietary components used in Arm Compiler for Embedded 6 (the
linker, C library, and binutils carried over from the legacy Arm
Compiler 5 toolchain) are retired in favour of their open source
(LLVM and Picolib) equivalents.

This update changes the filename from 'arm_compiler.rst' to
'arm_compiler_6.rst' to accurately reflects its focus on AC6.
Recently, Arm introduced the Arm Toolchain for Embedded (ATfE), which is
distinct from AC6. This 7th generation compiler is entirely open source
for the first time. To distinguish it from AC6 and highlight it's a
complete toolchain rather than just a compiler, this new version will
be named Arm Toolchain for Embedded (ATfE).

This commit adds the 'Toolchains' sub-category under the 'Developing
with Zephyr' category with toolchain-related documentations that were
previously located under the 'Getting Started Guide' sub-category.
It also reworks the toolchain-related documentation in the "Beyond
Getting Started Guide" document such that it is more up to date and any
confusing and/or misleading details are removed.
