067530e453 doc: kernel: add sleep as a defined term
The scheduler documentation was updated before to define a reschedule
point, but the related term sleep was not clearly described.  Add a
definition, and link to it from the API terminology.

173a1cc08a device: deprecate DEVICE_INIT
deprecate DEVICE_INIT in favor of just using DEVICE_DEFINE directly.
The small handful of DEVICE_INIT users was easily converted to use
DEVICE_DEFINE or SYS_DEVICE_DEFINE.

4c2f0605da doc: fix invalid usage of function to :c:macro:
Some macros were using :c:func: and :cpp:func: which forbids Breathe
from resolving those symbols. Update to :c:macro: for proper resolution.

53fd5ff236 doc: update function references to use :c:func:
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.

9f68178fe1 doc: reference: terminology: refine API attributes
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.
