mdb runner is quite special as it can be used to run Zephyr on
both simulator (nSIM) and real hardware.
However it is really misleading as same command (west flash)
will run Zephyr in simulation for one board and try to run it
on HW for another board. Things are getting worse for boards
supporting both runs in simulation and on real hardware.
Let's split mdb runner for mdb-hw (for runs on HW) and mdb-nsim
(for runs in simulation) runners.

* current supported boards:
* emsk, iotdk, nsim, emsdp, hsdk.
* for the unsupported future boards, pls take a
reference of supported boards' board.cmake.
* mdb runner is required and the default runner for SMP
case, e.g., HSDK and nsim_hs_smp.
* other ARC boards can also choose to use mdb by
setting runner as mdb, e.g. west flash --runner mdb.
* with mdb runner, user can make a debug through mdb gui
* with arc_nsim or opencod runner (default runner), user
can make a debug through gdb cmdline.

Now when ARC development boards are switched to generic OpenOCD
runner we need to explicitly instruct the runner to load Elf but not
binary image (which is a default for OpenOCD runner).
This might be done either manually adding "--use-elf" option to
west's command line or that might be added by default fro affected
boards, which we do exactly now.
Fixes https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/22888.

We used to use "em-starterkit" runner for ARC which is
basically heavy-modified "openocd" runner tweaked to
use GDB for loading and starting Elf files.
Now when loading and running Elf files is possible with generic
"openocd" runner we may us it. So we switch and get rid of
"em-starterkit" as well since we no longer need it.

Convert all board_set_xxer(foo) calls to board_set_xxer_ifndef(foo),
which allows the user to make their own decision at CMake time.

This helps by letting us add checks for when the runner has already
been set. There is documentation saying you can set
-DBOARD_DEBUG_RUNNER at the command line and have it take effect,
which turns out not to be true for a large number of boards.
A status message helps the user debug.
(We'll address the existing in-tree boards in the next patch.)

Update the files which contain no license information with the
'Apache-2.0' SPDX license identifier. Many source files in the tree are
missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance
tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of Zephyr, which is Apache version 2.

The various runners (flash/debug scripts) use environment variables to
take arguments. This is legacy behavior which is not desirable.
Use command line arguments instead.
Note: this leaves more general environment variables with publicly
documented behavior in place for now, for compatibility, e.g.:
ZEPHYR_FLASH_OVER_DFU, OPENSDA_FW, ESP_IDF_PATH, PYOCD_DAPARG
For example, when using dfu-util to flash arduino_101, instead of
setting DFUUTIL_PID, DFUUTIL_ALT, and DFUUTIL_IMG environment
variables, have the script invocation look like this:
python3 .../zephyr_flash_debug.py dfu-util flash \
[common arguments omitted] \
--pid=8087:0aba --alt=x86_app \
--img=.../build/zephyr/zephyr.bin
Make similar changes for other runners (openocd, etc.) and
targets (debug, debugserver).
To implement this in the scripts:
- have the individual scripts/support/runner/some-runner.py files
register their own command line arguments
- teach them to construct instances from arguments, not the
environment
- have zephyr_flash_debug.py request runners to register command
line argument parsers, and handle arguments
In the build system:
- add a new board_runner_args() extension function that board.cmake
files can use to add to the zephyr_flash_debug.py command line
- adjust cmake/flash/CMakeLists.txt to invoke with arguments
- add new helper include files for each runner (like
boards/common/dfu-util.board.cmake, etc.), which add default
options as needed and then add on overrides from
board_runner_args() calls
- update board.cmake files to use the new includes and extension
This implied some tweaking when using openocd to make the CMake string
escaping and unescaping work properly.

The Python-based runners have replaced the old shell scripts. Refactor
the build system accordingly:
- FLASH_SCRIPT is now BOARD_FLASH_RUNNER
- DEBUG_SCRIPT is now BOARD_DEBUG_RUNNER
The values, rather than being the names of files, are now the names of
runners in scripts/support/runner. They are still short, descriptive
names like "openocd", "jlink", "em-starterkit", etc.
Adjust the zephyr_flash_debug.py call and runner internals
accordingly. Have each runner class report a name and the commands it
can handle. This lets us move some boilerplate from each do_run()
method into the common run() routine, and enables further improvements
in future patches.
The handles_command() method is temporary, and will be replaced by a
more general mechanism for describing runner capabilities in a
subsequent patch. The initial use case for extending this is to add
device tree awareness to the runners.
To try to avoid user confusion, abort the configuration if an
xxx_SCRIPT is defined.

The old way of constructing FLASH_SCRIPT_ENV_VARS was corrupting the
values that were passed to the flasher. This new method is the
standard way of creating a dictionary/hashmap in CMake and does not
suffer from the same problem.

Introducing CMake is an important step in a larger effort to make
Zephyr easy to use for application developers working on different
platforms with different development environment needs.
Simplified, this change retains Kconfig as-is, and replaces all
Makefiles with CMakeLists.txt. The DSL-like Make language that KBuild
offers is replaced by a set of CMake extentions. These extentions have
either provided simple one-to-one translations of KBuild features or
introduced new concepts that replace KBuild concepts.
This is a breaking change for existing test infrastructure and build
scripts that are maintained out-of-tree. But for FW itself, no porting
should be necessary.
For users that just want to continue their work with minimal
disruption the following should suffice:
Install CMake 3.8.2+
Port any out-of-tree Makefiles to CMake.
Learn the absolute minimum about the new command line interface:
$ cd samples/hello_world
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DBOARD=nrf52_pca10040 ..
$ cd build
$ make
