Contrary to the documentation giving a semaphore while an IRQ lock is
held does not release the lock and give control to another thread.
The release-lock behavior is observed only if the lock-holding thread
sleeps.
However the opportunity to reschedule will have been lost so it may be
necessary to explicitly yield to allow the higher-priority thread to
be serviced.

a limit which is set by the available RAM.

Add description how to enable zero-latency interrupt in the application
code. Previous docs described only the Kconfig and not the flag.

Following the change to use the C domain for parsing, update all
existing :cpp:func: references to :c:func:. Remove the parentheses as
well, if used, because they are not needed, this is already known to be
a function, and how it is displayed in the documentation later is a
semantic decision done by the output builder.

Add detailed documentation for macros that get generated by
gen_defines.py. Covers properties, interrupts, phandle-arrays, clocks,
buses, flash partitions, SPI, etc.
Should be relatively complete now, though there might be overlooked
details.

We have a collection of python scripts that are part of our build
system. This PR collects docstring comments added to these scripts into
a summary document. Previous references to just the script name in
other documentation are updated to point to this build tool
documentation.
Some of the scripts needed an update to be processed (via include
directives) consistently.

The Quark D2000 is the only x86 with an MVIC, and since support for
it has been dropped, the interrupt controller is orphaned. Removed.
