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.
argv is allocated from stack and then belong to userspace,
so task_info_s is a best location to hold this information.

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.

arch: Allocate the space from the beginning in up_stack_frame
and modify the affected portion:
1.Correct the stack dump and check
2.Allocate tls_info_s by up_stack_frame too
3.Move the stack fork allocation from arch to sched

-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
* 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
