Provided changes add option (CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_GENERATE_SYSTEM_SYMTAB) to build complete list of available functions and syscalls automatically. The symbolic table is generated in form libsymtab.a which can be reused by application or directly pull in when "g_symtab" and "g_nsymbols" variables are requested by EXECFUNCS configuration.
I have tried to follow mechanisms for library compilation in different kernel protection modes but tested only flat no-MMU build. The basic assumption is that this library and libraries providing syscall stubs and C-library functions are available in user-space context and initial application (usually NSH) registers the symbol table through IOCTL. The table can be reused then by another applications in their address space as kernel allows. Simple for flat or protected mode, I am not sure if really support in MMU mode. It is highly probable that I have made some mistake, overlooked something, but functionality is optional (should not cause troubles in any mode if disabled) and main purpose is to lower memory overhead when more applications are loaded on memory constrained system which usually use direct kernel calling without protection or address space separation. If the table should be provided by kernel to applications then makefiles has to be adjusted.
Move boards to boards folder
* boards: rename configs folder to boards
This is the proposed layout after the change:
boards: - folder containing board folders
<board>: - name of each board
drivers: - extra drivers specific for platform
include: - header files for the boars
scripts: - extra scripts specific for platform
src: - board specific code
tools: - extra tools specific for platform
<config>: - board specific configuration(s)
Note:
<xxx> names are dependent on platform
This is a logical change to aim to the arch layout but this is a
huge change it should be done in several steps to lower the risk.

Squashed commit of the following:
configs/: The few configurations that formerly set CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS=0 should not default, rather they should set the number of descriptors to 3.
fs/: Remove all conditional logic based on CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS == 0
tools/: Tools updates for changes to usage of CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS.
syscall/: Remove all conditional logic based on CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS == 0

net/: Remove all conditional logic based on CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS == 0
sched/: Remove all conditional logic based on CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS == 0
sched/Kconfig: CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS may no longer to set to a value less than 3
configs/: Remove all settings for CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS < 3
Squashed commit of the following:
libs/libxx: Fix some confusing in naming. If the directory is called libxx, then the library must be libxx.a (unless perhaps LIBCXX is selected).
libs/: Fix paths in moved library directories.
libs: Brute force move of libc, libnx, and libxx to libs. Cannot yet build it in that configuration.
