This is preparation to use kernel stack for everything when the user
process enters the kernel. Now the user stack is in use when the user
process runs a system call, which might not be the safest option.
The spawn proxy thread is a special existence in NuttX, usually some developers
spend a lot of time on stack overflow of spawn proxy thread:
https://github.com/apache/nuttx/issues/9046https://github.com/apache/nuttx/pull/9081
In order to avoid similar issues, this PR will remove spawn proxy thread to simplify
the process of task/posix_spawn().
1. Postpone the related processing of spawn file actions until after task_init()
2. Delete the temporary thread of spawn proxy and related global variables

1. stack_alloc_ptr should be freed in kernel mode
2. replace nxsched_release_tcb() to nxtask_uninit() to remove tcb from inactive list

Store the old environment in a local context so another temporary address
environment can be selected. This can happen especially when a process
is being loaded (the new process's mappings are temporarily instantiated)
and and interrupt occurs.
Instead of using a volatile storage for the address environment in the
binfmt / loadinfo structures, always allocate the address environment
from kheap.
This serves two purposes:
- If the task creation fails, any kernel thread that depends on the
address environment created during task creation will not lose their
mappings (because they hold a reference to it)
- The current address environment variable (g_addrenv) will NEVER contain
a stale / incorrect value
- Releasing the address environment is simplified as any pointer given
to addrenv_drop() can be assumed to be heap memory
- Makes the kludge function addrenv_clear_current irrelevant, as the
system will NEVER have invalid mappings any more
The function is not relevant any longer, remove it. Also remove
save_addrenv_t, the parameter taken by up_addrenv_restore.
Implement addrenv_select() / addrenv_restore() to handle the temporary
instantiation of address environments, e.g. when a process is being
created.
Detach the address environment handling from the group structure to the
tcb. This is preparation to fix rare cases where the system (MMU) is left
without a valid page directory, e.g. when a process exits.
- Also remove the nuttx private shm.h file nuttx/mm/shm.h, which became redundant
- Also remove the gran allocator initialization/release in binfmt since common
vpage allocator is initialized in group_create/group_leave

The dependency should be vice versa; the MM_SHM should depend on the
existence of the virtual memory range allocator.
Create a new CONFIG flag CONFIG_ARCH_VMA_MAPPING, which will define that
there is a virtual memory range allocator. Make MM_SHM select that flag

Using the Kconfig macro does not work for RISC-V target, as there the
user heap follows .data/.bss and does not obey any Kconfig provided
boundary.
Added stubs for ARM and Z80 also.
This keeps backwards compatibility with apps that do not provide
envp. The old implementation passes NULL always and this change fixes
any regression caused by it.
If address environments are in use, it is not possible to simply
memcpy from from one process to another. The current implementation
of env_dup does precisely this and thus, it fails at once when it is
attempted between two user processes.
The solution is to use the kernel's heap as an intermediate buffer.
This is a simple, effective and common way to do a fork().
Obviously this is not needed for kernel processes.
Summary:
- I noticed that the user heap is not initialized correctly
if BUILD_KERNEL=y and ADDRENV=y
- This commit fixes this issue
Impact:
- None
Testing:
- Tested with sabre-6quad:netknsh (not merged yet)

since the standard require the caller pass the name explicitly
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/posix_spawn.html:
The argument argv is an array of character pointers to null-terminated strings.
The last member of this array shall be a null pointer and is not counted in argc.
These strings constitute the argument list available to the new process image.
The value in argv[0] should point to a filename that is associated with the
process image being started by the posix_spawn() or posix_spawnp() function.

-Move task_init() and task_activate() prototypes from include/sched.h to include/nuttx/sched.h. These are internal OS functions and should not be exposed to the user.
-Remove references to task_init() and task_activate() from the User Manual.
-Rename task_init() to nxtask_init() since since it is an OS internal function
-Rename task_activate() to nxtask_activate since it is an OS internal function
Move the prototype for the internal OS from from sched/sched/sched.h to include/nuttx/sched.h. This was done because binfmt/binfmt/excecmodule.c requires the prototype for sched_releasetcb() and was illegally including sched/sched/sched.h. That is a blatant violation of the OS modular design and the person that did this should be hung up by their thumbs. Oh... I did that back in a bad moment in 2014. Now that is made right.
* Simplify EINTR/ECANCEL error handling
1. Add semaphore uninterruptible wait function
2 .Replace semaphore wait loop with a single uninterruptible wait
3. Replace all sem_xxx to nxsem_xxx
* Unify the void cast usage
1. Remove void cast for function because many place ignore the returned value witout cast
2. Replace void cast for variable with UNUSED macro
