A long time ago, Zephyr had two macros that could be used for build-time
assertions: BUILD_ASSERT() and BUILD_ASSERT_MSG(). The latter has been
dropped in v2.7 and removed from the documentation; however, the intro
paragraph of the "Build Assertions" section has never been updated to
reflect this, and still confusingly claims that "Zephyr provides two
macros for performing build-time assertions" when only BUILD_ASSERT()
remains.
Update the introductory paragraph of "Build Assertions" section such that
it makes sense now that only one build-time assertion macro exists.

Up until now, the `__thread` keyword has been used for declaring
variables as Thread local storage. However, `__thread` is a GNU
specific keyword which thus limits compatibility with other
toolchains (for instance IAR).
This PR intoduces a new macro `Z_THREAD_LOCAL` which expands to the
corresponding C11, C23 or C++11 standard keyword based on the standard
that is specified during compilation, else it uses the old `__thread`
keyword.

Augment the doc with functionality added in commit a211970b42 ("riscv:
improve contended FPU switching").
Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <npitre@baylibre.com>
FPU context switching is always performed on demand through the FPU
access exception handler. Actual task switching only grants or denies
FPU access depending on the current FPU owner.
Because RISC-V doesn't have a dedicated FPU access exception, we must
catch the Illegal Instruction exception and look for actual FP opcodes.
There is no longer a need to allocate FPU storage on the stack for every
exception making esf smaller and stack overflows less likely.

This commit adds the 'Language Support' sub-category under the
'Developing with Zephyr' category with programming language support-
related documentations.
The contents of the 'C standard library' page have been relocated to
the 'C Language Support' page, and the contents of the 'C++ Support for
Applications' page have been relocated to the 'C++ Language Support'
page.

At some recent point, directory <zephyr-root>/include was moved to
<zephyr-root>/include/zephyr. However, links from documentation to
Zephyr source on Github were not updated. Update them now.
