To prepare for linker script creation with flexible number of linker
passes depending on system configuration then the Zephyr CMake linker
script generator has been updated to use pass names instead of pass
numbers.
This allows greater flexibility as a section can now be active based on
the settings on the pass and not the linking pass index number.
As part of this, the `PASS` processing in `linker_script_common.cmake`
has been adjusted so that it properly handles when a linking pass is
handling multiple settings, such as both `LINKER_APP_SMEM_UNALIGNED`
and `DEVICE_HANDLES_PASS1` in same linking pass.
As the number of linking passes are more flexible, then the PASS
argument in `zephyr_linker_section()` and
`zephyr_linker_section_configure()` has been updated to also support
a `NOT <name>` argument, for example: `PASS NOT LINKER_ZEPHYR_FINAL`.

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

Converted existing ld script templates into CMake files.
This commit takes the common-ram.ld, common-rom.ld, debug-sections.ld,
and thread-local-storage.ld and creates corresponding CMake files for
the linker script generator.
The CMake files uses the new Zephyr CMake functions:
- zephyr_linker_section()
- zephyr_linker_section_configure()
- zephyr_linker_section_obj_level()
to generate the same linker result as the existing C preprocessor based
scheme.
