The existing __swap() mechanism is too high level for some
applications because of its scheduler-awareness. This introduces a
new _arch_switch() mechanism, which is a simpler primitive that looks
like:
void _arch_switch(void *handle, void **old_handle_out);
The new thread handle (typically just a stack pointer) is specified
explicitly instead of being picked up from the scheduler by
per-architecture code, and on return the "old" thread handle that got
switched out is returned through the pointer.
The new primitive (currently available only on xtensa) is selected
when CONFIG_USE_SWITCH is "y". A new C _Swap() implementation based
on this primitive is then added which operates compatibly.
