Qemu doesn't like tickless. By default[1] it tries to be realtime as
vied by the host CPU -- presenting read values from hardware cycle
counters and interrupt timings at the appropriate real world clock
times according to whatever the simulated counter frequency is. But
when the host system is loaded, there is always the problem that the
qemu process might not see physical CPU time for large chunks of time
(i.e. a host OS scheduling quantum -- generally about the same size as
guest ticks!) leading to lost cycles.
When those timer interrupts are delivered by the emulated hardware at
fixed frequencies without software intervention, that's not so bad:
the work the guest has to do after the interrupt generally happens
synchronously (because the qemu process has just started running) and
nothing notices the dropout.
But with tickless, the interrupts need to be explicitly programmed by
guest software! That means the driver needs to be sure it's going to
get some real CPU time within some small fraction of a Zephyr tick of
the right time, otherwise the computations get wonky.
The end result is that qemu tends to work with tickless well on an
unloaded/idle run, but not in situations (like sanitycheck) where it
needs to content with other processes for host CPU.
So, add a flag that drivers can use to "fake" tickless behavior when
run under qemu (only), and enable it (only!) for the small handful of
tests that are having trouble.
[1] There is an -icount feature to implement proper cycle counting at
the expense of real-world-time correspondence. Maybe someday we might
get it to work for us.

In the POSIX architecture, with the inf_clock "SOC", time does
not pass while the CPU is running. Tests that require time to pass
while busy waiting should call k_busy_wait() or in some other way
set the CPU to idle. This test was setting the CPU to idle while
waiting for the next time slice. This is ok if the system tick
(timer) is active and awaking the CPU every system tick period.
But when configured in tickless mode that is not the case, and the
CPU was set to sleep for an indefinite amount of time.
This commit fixes it by using k_busy_wait(a few microseconds) inside
that busy wait loop instead.

This test was failing on nrf52810_pca10040 due to lack of RAM.
It was a side effect of increasing the privilege stack size.

When using an IDE (e.g. Eclipse, Qt Creator), the project name gets
displayed. This greatly simplifies the navigation between projects when
having many of them open at the same time. Naming every project "NONE"
defeats this functionality.
This patch tries to use sensible project names while not duplicating
too much of what is already represented in the path. This is done by
using the name of the directory the relevant CMakeLists.txt file is
stored in. To ensure unique project names in the samples (and again, in
the tests folder) folder, small manual adjustments have been done.

To improve the code coverage on native posix, adding CONFIG_SCHED_MULTIQ

Extracting a separate prj_native_posix.conf file for the scheduler test,
which validates the "multi queue" scheduler on native posix.

Prepend the text 'cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.8.2)' into the
application and test build scripts.
Modern versions of CMake will spam users with a deprecation warning
when the toplevel CMakeLists.txt does not specify a CMake
version. This is documented in bug #8355.
To resolve this we include a cmake_minimum_required() line into the
toplevel build scripts. Additionally, cmake_minimum_required is
invoked from within boilerplate.cmake. The highest version will be
enforced.
This patch allows us to afterwards change CMake policy CMP000 from OLD
to NEW which in turn finally rids us of the verbose warning.
The extra boilerplate is considered more acceptable than the verbosity
of the CMP0000 policy.

These two tests ask for lots of priority levels, more than the 32
maximum allowed by SCHED_MULTIQ (which is by design: if you have
requirements like that DUMB or SCALABLE are better choices due to the
RAM overhead of MULTIQ), so the build will fail on boards that defined
MULTIQ as default.
Don't let the platform choose the scheduler backend, ask for SCALABLE
explicitly.
