The sched_get_stackinfo() interface was just added. However, it occurs to me that it is a dangerous feature and could lead to security problems. In FLAT and PROTECTED modes, if you get access to any other threads stack, you could do harm.
This commit adds some level of security. Basically, it implements these rules:
1. Any thread may query its own stack,
2. A kernel thread may query the stack of any other thread
3. Application threads, however, may query only the stacks of threads within the same task group, i.e., the main thread and any of the child pthreads created with the main thread as a parent or grandparent or great-grandpart ...
The new OS interface, sched_get_stackinfo() combines two pthread-specific interfaces into a single generic interface. The existing pthread_get_stackaddr_np() and pthread_get_stacksize_np() are moved from sched/pthread to libs/libc/pthread.
There are two motivations for this change: First, it reduces the number of system calls. Secondly, it adds a common hook that is going to used for a future implementation of TLS.
The naming standard at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NUTTX/Naming+FAQ requires that all architecture-private functions begin with the name of the arch, not up_.
This PR addresses only these name changes for the ARM-private functions up_instack_base() and up_instack_top() which should be called arm_instack_base() and arm_instack_top().
There should be no impact of this change (other that one step toward more consistent naming).

Summary
The naming standard at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NUTTX/Naming+FAQ requires that all MCU-private functions begin with the name of the architecture, not up_.
This PR addresses function-like macro naming that was missing in previous PRs: up_savestate() and up_restorestate() which must be named arm_savestate() and arm_restorestate().
Impact
There should be no impact of this change (other that one step toward more consistent naming).
Testing
stm32f103-minimum:nsh
The are remaining nxstyle complaints due to the use of mixed case identifiers in arch/arm/src/lc823450/lc823450_irq.c This, cannot be easily fixed since it depends on register definitions in header files that have implications to section other lc823450 files.

This PR addresses only these name changes for the ARM-private functions prototyped in arm_internal.h
This change to the files only modifies the name of called functions. nxstyle fixes were made for all core architecture files. However, there are well over 5000 additional complaints from MCU drivers and board logic that are unrelated to to this change but were affected by the name change. It is not humanly possible to fix all of these. I ask that this change be treated like other cosmetic changes that we have done which do not require full nxstyle compliance.
Impact
There should be not impact of this change (other that one step toward more consistent naming).

This PR addresses only these name changes for the up_*.S files.
The entire job required to be compatible with that Naming Convention will also require changing the naming of the up_() functions that are used only within arch/arm and board/arm.
