Nuttx currently has 2 types of sleep interfaces:
1. Signal-scheduled sleep: nxsig_sleep() / nxsig_usleep() / nxsig_nanosleep()
Weaknesses:
a. Signal-dependent: The signal-scheduled sleep method is bound to the signal framework, while some driver sleep operations do not depend on signals.
b. Timespec conversion: Signal-scheduled sleep involves timespec conversion, which has a significant impact on performance.
2. Busy sleep: up_mdelay() / up_udelay()
Weaknesses:
a. Does not actively trigger scheduling, occupy the CPU loading.
3. New interfaces: Scheduled sleep: nxsched_sleep() / nxsched_usleep() / nxsched_msleep() / nxsched_ticksleep()
Strengths:
a. Does not depend on the signal framework.
b. Tick-based, without additional computational overhead.
Currently, the Nuttx driver framework extensively uses nxsig_* interfaces. However, the driver does not need to rely on signals or timespec conversion.
Therefore, a new set of APIs is added to reduce dependencies on other modules.
(This PR also aims to make signals optional, further reducing the code size of Nuttx.)

We have adjusted the registration method for MTD devices
in nuttx/boards, replacing the previous approach using
ftl_initialize() and bchdev_register() with
register_mtddriver().
When registering MTD devices via register_mtddriver(),
FTL and BCH wrappers will be added during the open() process:
1. Character Device Mode:
When accessing the MTD device node via the open() interface,
the device will be automatically converted to a character
device. Both FTL and BCH wrappers will be implicitly added,
provided that BCH support is enabled in the configuration.
2. Block Device Mode:
When accessing the MTD device node via open_blockdriver(),
the device will be treated as a block device, with only
the FTL wrapper automatically applied.
Due to the automatic wrapping of MTD devices during the
open() process, the legacy registration methods
ftl_initialize() and bchdev_register() are no longer
required for MTD device registration for user code and should
be used only internally within fs and driver code.

Most tools used for compliance and SBOM generation use SPDX identifiers
This change brings us a step closer to an easy SBOM generation.

This patch fixed userspace headers conflict. Architecture-related definition and API should not be exposed to users.

(1) Keep the `.init_array` and `.ctors` symbols and sort them according to their initialization priority.
(2) Exclude symbols ending with crtend.* and crtbegin.* to support c++
application.if we not exclude crtend.* crtbegin.* frame_dummy will be
added when enable any c++ application with global variables, this symbol
execution is problematic, removing it does not affect the application.

- migrated /README are removed from /boards
- there are a lot of READMEs that should be further converted to rst.
At the moment they are moved to Documentation/platforms and included in rst files
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.
