There are various situations where it's necessary to support turning
devices on or off at runtime, includin power rails, clocks, other
peripherals, and binary device power management. The complexity of
properly managing multiple consumers of a device in a multithreaded
system suggests that a shared implementation is desirable. This
commit provides an API that supports managing on-off resources.

Moving all thread docs into 1 page was a bit too much. Split the section
a bit and remove redundant and useless sections and move some thread
related documentation from the scheduling page to threads (thread states
and priorities).
Add a new figure for thread states.

We don't really have docs on how fatal errors are induced
or handled. Provide some documentation that covers:
- Assertions (runtime and build)
- Kernel panic and oops conditions
- Stack overflows
- Other exceptions
- Exception handling policy

Add a table summarizing the key characteristics of each
of the data passing objects.
It is useful for readers to have an overview they can skim without
having to read each section in detail.

Splitting these up by area helps make the sidebar a bit easier to
navigate, and will also let us insert additional overview information
about each area.

The approved trademark name is Wi-Fi so update references to WiFi and
other spellings to Wi-Fi in documentation and Kconfig help strings.
(Note that use of spelling variatios of "wifi" in module names, CONFIG
names, link names and such are untouched.)

Move guides and APIs into separate directories and cleanup naming
