k_poll() is similar to the POSIX poll() API in spirit in that it allows
a single thread to monitor multiple events without actively polling
them, but rather pending for one or more to become ready. Such events
can be a direct event, or kernel objects (currently only semaphores and
fifos).
When a kernel object being polled on is ready, it is not "given" to the
poller: the poller must then acquire it via the regular API for the
object (e.g. k_sem_take()). Only one thread can poll on a particular
object at one time. These restrictions mean that k_poll() is most
effective when a single thread monitors multiple events that are not
subject for contention. For example, being the sole reader on multiple
fifos, or the only thread being signalled by multiple semaphores, or a
combination of both.

samples and documentation.

Make sure that kernel/unified, that is included in libs-y does not
built recursively through building kernel/ directory.
Make sure that any lib.a library is not included into libzephyr.a
and thus object modules from those lib.a files are linked only if a
function from that object module is referenced from the application.

Added needed kconfig options. KERNEL_V2 selects MICROKERNEL to allow
middleware and application that differentiate between NANOKERNEL and
MICROKERNEL to run unmodified.
Build the unified/ kernel directory: do not touch the
nanokernel/microkernel directories.
Invoke sysgen for both microkernel and unified kernel. Only have sysgen
reference include/microkernel if building an original microkernel.

This commit creates the Makefiles that describe the object-bundles for
the kernel directory and every sub-directory below.
It also includes the misc Makefile.
