semaphore type (mutexes).

The kernel's services previously referred to as "signalling services",
which include object types such as semaphores, events, and mutexes,
are now referred to as "synchronization services". This term more
clearly conveys their use as a means to synchronize the operation
of two or more entities within the kernel.

Revise instructions to take advantage of the "public object"
and "private object" terminology now covered in the kernel
overview documentation. Also incorporates some missing information
the users need to be aware of when defining certain object types.

task_mbox_data_block_get_wait_timeout
Previous names, focusing on 'async', were misleading, because:
- some of those APIs can be used synchronously as well
- other APIs can also do asynchronous transfer, and don't have 'async'
in their names
- the key concept of these APIs is that they use memory pool blocks
rather than raw data buffers.

Removes an unnecessary level of headings in the microkernel and
nanokernel sections of the Zephyr kernel documentation, providing
users with direct access to the major service areas of the
microkernel and nanokernel from the main kernel web page. Also
greatly reduces the introductory text for these 2 sections,
since users can now easily find out what the various subsections
provide by simply clicking on them.
