Organized in a user-visible portion in the application development
guide, and implementation details in the board porting guide.

This commit introduces additional naming support of config files.
It is now possible to create a config file of the form
`prj_<build>.conf` and automatically have a corresponding
`boards/<BOARD>_<build>.conf` config file merged.
As example, one can create a structure as:
|-- prj.conf
|-- prj_debug.conf
|-- boards
|-- nrf52840dk_nrf52840.conf
|-- nrf52840dk_nrf52840_debug.conf
when building: (existing behavior)
cmake -DBOARD=nrf52840dk_nrf52840 ...
prj.conf is merged with nrf52840dk_nrf52840.conf
when building: (new behavior)
cmake -DBOARD=nrf52840dk_nrf52840 -DCONF_FILE=prj_debug.conf ...
prj_debug.conf is merged with nrf52840dk_nrf52840_debug.conf

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 is joint work with Kumar Gala (see signed-off-by).
Document the changes to the generated node macros in macros.bnf,
moving the old file to legacy-macros.bnf and putting it in its own
section.
The actual generated macros are now a low-level detail, so rewrite the
foregoing sections as examples in terms of the new <devicetree.h> APIs.

The one page on devicetree is too long. Split it into multiple pages
to make it easier to digest and more squintable. This is basically
just moving content around; minimal changes have been made apart from
redoing some transitions and adding a couple of introductory paragraphs.
Rename the 'device-tree' Sphinx :ref: target while we are here.

Add a new 'Setting Kconfig configuration values' page in the new Kconfig
section in 'User and Developer Guides'. Move all the information on
setting Kconfig symbols from 'Application Development' and the board
porting guide into it. The same page now covers both configuration files
and Kconfig.defconfig files.
Add links to the new page in various places to make it easy to find.
Also add some more references to the top-level Kconfig page and other
Kconfig pages.
A lot of stuff was rewritten while moving it over (the CONF_FILE
documentation has been cleaned up in particular). Some new information
has been added as well, like a tip re. minimal configurations being
helpful when making Kconfig settings permanent, and a warning re.
dependencies being ORed rather than ANDed when defining a symbol in
multiple locations.
