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.)

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

currently, nuttx implements readv/writev on the top of read/write.
while it might work for the simplest cases, it's broken by design.
for example, it's impossible to make it work correctly for files
which need to preserve data boundaries without allocating a single
contiguous buffer. (udp socket, some character devices, etc)
this change is a start of the migration to a better design.
that is, implement read/write on the top of readv/writev.
to avoid a single huge change, following things will NOT be done in
this commit:
* fix actual bugs caused by the original readv-based-on-read design.
(cf. https://github.com/apache/nuttx/pull/12674)
* adapt filesystems/drivers to actually benefit from the new interface.
(except a few trivial examples)
* eventually retire the old interface.
* retire read/write syscalls. implement them in libc instead.
* pread/pwrite/preadv/pwritev (except the introduction of struct uio,
which is a preparation to back these variations with the new
interface.)
Summary:
1.Add configuration to allocate memory from the specified section
2.Replace all memory operations (kmm_) in the vfs with
fs_heap_. When FS_HEAPSIZE > 0, memory is requested for the file system by specifying a configured heap location. By default (i.e. FS_HEAPSIZE=0) fs_heap_ is equivalent to kmm_

The memory allocated with strdup and asprintf is done via lib_malloc
so we need to use lib_free to deallocate memory otherwise the assertion
"Free memory from the wrong heap" is hit with flat mode and user separated
heap enabled mode.

since mmap may exist in block_operations, but truncate may not,
moving mmap beforee truncate could make three struct more compatible

- Add mmap into file_operations and remove it from ioctl definitions.
- Add mm_map structure definitions to support future unmapping
- Modify all drivers to initialize the operations struct accordingly
