Gerard Marull-Paretas c7b5b3c419 samples: migrate includes to contain <zephyr/...> prefix 
In order to bring consistency in-tree, migrate all samples to the use
the new prefix <zephyr/...>. Note that the conversion has been scripted:

```python
from pathlib import Path
import re

EXTENSIONS = ("c", "h", "cpp", "rst")

for p in Path(".").glob("samples/**/*"):
    if not p.is_file() or p.suffix and p.suffix[1:] not in EXTENSIONS:
        continue

    content = ""
    with open(p) as f:
        for line in f:
            m = re.match(r"^(.*)#include <(.*)>(.*)$", line)
            if (m and
                not m.group(2).startswith("zephyr/") and
                (Path(".") / "include" / "zephyr" / m.group(2)).exists()):
                content += (
                    m.group(1) +
                    "#include <zephyr/" + m.group(2) +">" +
                    m.group(3) + "\n"
                )
            else:
                content += line

    with open(p, "w") as f:
        f.write(content)
```

console_getchar() Sample Application
####################################

Overview
********

This example shows how to use :c:func:`console_getchar` function.
Similar to the well-known ANSI C getchar() function,
:c:func:`console_getchar` either returns the next available input
character or blocks waiting for one. Using this function, it should be
fairly easy to port existing ANSI C, POSIX, or Linux applications which
process console input character by character. The sample also allows to
see key/character codes as returned by the function.

If you are interested in line by line console input, see
:ref:`console_getline_sample`.


Requirements
************

UART console is required to run this sample.


Building and Running
********************

The easiest way to run this sample is using QEMU:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/subsys/console/getchar
   :host-os: unix
   :board: qemu_x86
   :goals: run
   :compact:

Now start pressing keys on a keyboard, and they will be printed both as
hex values and in character form. Be sure to press Enter, Up/Down, etc.
key to check what control characters are produced for them.
Exit QEMU by pressing :kbd:`CTRL+A` :kbd:`x`.
