As k_thread_cancel() is deprecated, we need to test if delayed thread
which is in wait queue can be cancelled from k_thread_abort().

The only difference between this call and k_thread_abort() (beyond
some minor performance deltas) is that "cancel" will act as a noop in
cases where the thread has begun execution and will return an error.
"Abort" always succeeds, of course. That is inherently racy when used
as a "stop the thread" API: there's no way in general (or at all in
SMP situations) to know that you're calling this function "early
enough" to catch the thread before it starts.
Effectively, all k_thread_cancel() gives you that k_thread_abort()
doesn't is an indication about whether or not a thread has started.
There are many other ways to get that information that don't require
dangerous kernel APIs.
Deprecate this function. Zephyr's own code never used it except for
its own unit test.

The test validates the behavior of calling k_thread_start()
of thread which is already started. The thread has to start
execution only when its state is _THREAD_PRESTART.

Some unnecessary k_thread_abort() removed.
userspace tag added to testcase.yaml.
Suspend/resume, spawn_forever, and spawn_priority tests remain in
supervisor mode due to the priority requests they make.

It's now possible to instantiate a thread object, but delay its
execution indefinitely. This was already supported with K_THREAD_DEFINE.
A new API, k_thread_start(), now exists to start threads that are in
this state.
The intended use-case is to initialize a thread with K_USER, then grant
it various access permissions, and only then start it.

Arguments are not needed and in some cases are being set as unused in
the same function. The test_main function is called from ztest main
routine without any arguments.
