When I try to set priorities in certain programs, such as init_priority(HIGH_PRIORITY), I've noticed that during linking, there's no guarantee that the programs will be compiled in the sequence I've specified based on priority. This has led to some runtime errors in my program.
I realized that in the ld file, when initializing dynamic arrays, there's no assurance of initializing init_array.* before init_array. This has resulted in runtime errors in the program. Consequently, I've rearranged the init_array.* in the ld file of NuttX to be placed before init_array and added a SORT operation to init_array.* to ensure accurate initialization based on priorities during linking.
replace *(.init_array .init_array.*) with KEEP(*(.init_array .init_array.*)).
The KEEP statement within a linker script will instruct the linker to keep the specified section, even if no symbols inside it are referenced. This statement is used within the SECTIONS section of the linker script. This becomes relevant when garbage collection is performed at link time, enabled by passing the --gc-sections switch to the linker. The KEEP statement instructs the linker to use the specified section as a root node when creating a dependency graph, looking for unused sections. Essentially forcing the section to be marked as used.

(Debugging): OpenOCD requires permissions for certain operations. The
preferred thing to do is to properly configure udev rules. The
expedient thing to do is to run it as root with 'sudo', but we do not
want to encourage that, as discussed earlier on this PR [1]. This
revised text offers a compromise where we mention both options, but
we talk about udev rules first and explicitly say that using 'sudo'
is not encouraged. We leave it up to developers to decide what is
best in their particular situation.

New file. Compared to b-g474e-dpow1:nsh, it adds the following
configs:
+CONFIG_BUILTIN=y
+CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y
+CONFIG_TESTING_OSTEST=y
and, because ostest currently fails when priority inheritance is
enabled, it removes the following configs:
-CONFIG_PRIORITY_INHERITANCE=y
-CONFIG_PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT_PRIO_INHERIT=y
Selecting this option will pass "-Map=$(TOPDIR)$(DELIM)nuttx.map" to ld
when linking NuttX ELF. That file can be useful for verifying
and debugging magic section games, and for seeing which
pieces of code get eliminated with DEBUG_OPT_UNUSED_SECTIONS.

Enable this option to optimization the unused input sections with the
linker by compiling with " -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections ", and

## Summary
A lot of linker scripts were listed twice, once for unix, once for windows.
This PR cleans up the logic so they're only listed once.
## Impact
Any opportunity to use a single source of truth and reduce lines of code is a win!
## Testing
CI will test all build
This reverts commit 45672c269d.
Because:
* It's very confusing to have cc as LD.
* I don't see what "-nostartfiles -nodefaultlibs" in LDFLAGS are
supposed to do when we use LD directly. It would be simpler to
remove them from our LDFLAGS.
In the current compilation environment, the recursive assignment(=) for compile
flags will be delayed until every file is actually need to be compile.
For example:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
arch/arm/src/Makefile:
INCLUDES += ${shell $(INCDIR) "$(CC)" $(ARCH_SRCDIR)$(DELIM)chip}
INCLUDES += ${shell $(INCDIR) "$(CC)" $(ARCH_SRCDIR)$(DELIM)common}
INCLUDES += ${shell $(INCDIR) "$(CC)" $(ARCH_SRCDIR)$(DELIM)$(ARCH_SUBDIR)}
INCLUDES += ${shell $(INCDIR) "$(CC)" $(TOPDIR)$(DELIM)sched}
CPPFLAGS += $(INCLUDES) $(EXTRAFLAGS)
CFLAGS += $(INCLUDES) $(EXTRAFLAGS)
CXXFLAGS += $(INCLUDES) $(EXTRAFLAGS)
AFLAGS += $(INCLUDES) $(EXTRAFLAGS)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All compilation options will be included recursively,
which will be delayed until the compilation options are actually used:
tools/Config.mk:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
define COMPILE
@echo "CC: $1"
$(Q) $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $($(strip $1)_CFLAGS) $1 -o $2
endef
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All compile flags to be reexecuted $(INCDIR) as long as one file needs to be compiled,
but in fact, the compilation options have not changed in the current directory.
So the we recommand to change the syntax of assignment
From
Recursive (=)
To
Simple (:=)
In this way, we can ensure that all compilation options are expanded only once and reducing repeated works.
