Martí Bolívar 8165008f44 dts: remove legacy macro support
The legacy macros were first deprecated in Zephyr v2.3. Now that
Zephyr v2.4 has been released, that makes two releases where these
macros have been deprecated, so it's OK to remove them.

This leaves support for legacy binding syntax in place. Removing that
is left to future work.

We need to update various pieces of documentation related to flash
partitions that never got updated when the new API was introduced.
Consolidate this information in the flash_map.h API reference page,
since that's really where users will run into it. This also gives us
the opportunity to improve this documentation.

Adjust a couple of kconfigfunctions.py and sanitycheck bits to use
non-legacy edtlib APIs.

littlefs File System Sample Application
#######################################
Overview
********
This sample app demonstrates use of Zephyr's :ref:`file system API
<file_system_api>` over `littlefs`_, using a file system with a file that
counts the number of times the system has booted. Other information
about the file system is also displayed.

Requirements
************
The partition labeled "storage" will be used for the file system; see
:ref:`flash_map_api`. If that area does not already have a
compatible littlefs file system its contents will be replaced by an
empty file system. You will see diagnostics like this::
[00:00:00.010,192] <inf> littlefs: LittleFS version 2.0, disk version 2.0
[00:00:00.010,559] <err> littlefs: Corrupted dir pair at 0 1
[00:00:00.010,559] <wrn> littlefs: can't mount (LFS -84); formatting
The error and warning are normal for a new file system.
After the file system is mounted you'll also see::
[00:00:00.182,434] <inf> littlefs: filesystem mounted!
[00:00:00.867,034] <err> fs: failed get file or dir stat (-2)
This error is also normal for Zephyr not finding a file (the boot count,
in this case).
Building and Running
********************
This example should work on any board that provides a "storage"
partition. Two tested board targets are described below.
You can set ``CONFIG_APP_WIPE_STORAGE`` to force the file system to be
recreated.
NRF52840 Development Kit
