This commit renames the Kconfig `FP_SHARING` symbol to `FPU_SHARING`,
since this symbol specifically refers to the hardware FPU sharing
support by means of FPU context preservation, and the "FP" prefix is
not fully descriptive of that; leaving room for ambiguity.

The DS3231 is an I2C real-time clock with internal temperature
compensated oscillator, maintaining civil time to 1 s precision with
nominal 2 ppm accuracy from 0-40 Cel.
The basic functionality is exposed as a counter that is always running
at 1 Hz. Much more functionality is exposed as driver-specific API,
including the ability to translate between the time scale of the DS3231
and the time scale of the Zephyr uptime clock. This allows correlation
of events in the system clock to UTC, TAI, or whatever time scale is
used to maintain the DS3231.

This commit renames the Kconfig `FLOAT` symbol to `FPU`, since this
symbol only indicates that the hardware Floating Point Unit (FPU) is
used and does not imply and/or indicate the general availability of
toolchain-level floating point support (i.e. this symbol is not
selected when building for an FPU-less platform that supports floating
point operations through the toolchain-provided software floating point
library).
Moreover, given that the symbol that indicates the availability of FPU
is named `CPU_HAS_FPU`, it only makes sense to use "FPU" in the name of
the symbol that enables the FPU.

This documentation is well-intentioned but not good advice.
The reason why we have a vtable-like API abstraction at the
driver subsystem level is to introduce object orientation.
The subsystem defintions implement an abstract class that
specific driver implementations all implement, providing
a common interface for end users. Multiple drivers may be
written for a subsystem that are interchangeable to the end
user.
However, there is no point in introducing a vtable-like
abstraction for APIs which are specific to a single driver.
We are not trying to present an interface abstraction which
could support multiple implementations. There is just one.
Simply declare a function in a header, and implement it in
the driver's C file.

The original description for isr-ok allowed the function to return an
error if called from an interrupt context, rather than doing its job.
This led to complex descriptions like "isr-ok but not sleep" to
indicate that the function could be called from thread or interrupt
context without visible behavior changes, including returning an
error based on calling context.
Remove the special terminology for cases where a function returns an
error (rather than causing undefined behavior) when invoked from an
interrupt or pre-kernel. Redefine isr-ok to indicate that the call
does what it's supposed to do regardless of interrupt or thread
context, delegating the description of allowed behaviors to the API
documentation (which should explicitly note when it's allowed to fail
to perform in non-thread context).
This also makes more clear that isr-ok applies to functions regardless
of whether they can cause an invoking thread to context switch.

The previous architecture proved unable to support user expectations,
so the API has been rebuilt from first principles. Backward
compatibility cannot be maintained for this change.
Key changes include:
* Formerly the service-provided transition functions were allowed to
sleep, and the manager took care to not invoke them from ISR
context, instead returning an error if unable to initiate a
transition. In the new architecture transition functions are
required to work regardless of calling context: it is the service's
responsibility to guarantee the transition will proceed even if it
needs to be transferred to a thread. This eliminates state machine
complexities related to calling context.
* Constants identifying the visible state of the manager are exposed
to clients through both notification callbacks and a new monitor API
that allows clients to be notified of all state changes.
* Formerly the release operation was async, and would be delayed for the
last release to ensure a client would exist to be notified of any
failures. It is now synchronous.
* Formerly the cancel operation would fail on the last client associated
with a transition. The cancel operation is now synchronous.
* A helper function is provided to safely synchronously release a
request regardless of whether it has completed or is in progress,
satisfying the use case underlying #22974.
* The user-data parameter to asynchronous notification callbacks has
been removed as user data can be retrieved from the CONTAINER_OF
the client data.

The original API was misnamed, as the intent was to provide a manager
that decoupled state management from the service that needed to be
turned on or off. Update all the names, shortening them where
appropriate removing unncessary internal components like _service.
Also remove some API that misled developers into believing that onoff
managers are normally expected to be exposed directly to consumers.
While this is a use case, in most situations there are service or
client-specific actions that need to be coupled to transition events.

k_poll() for a signal is often desired for notification of completion
of asynchronous operations, but there are APIs where it may be
necessary to invoke "asynchronous" operations from contexts where
sleep is disallowed, or before the kernel has been initialized.

a utility that can be used for other APIs.
