Preparation to introduce the Upper Link Layer (ULL) and
Lower Link Layer (LLL) split architecture.
- Move SoC dependent HAL to vendor specific folder.
- Preparation to split data structures into ULL and LLL
types.
- Added more role and state conditional compilations.
- Added some work-in-progress implementation of advertising
extensions, will be used as inspiration in the new split
architecture work.

The bluetooth controller has been using the flag '-Ofast' to keep
within a real-time limit. There are two problems with this; firstly,
when a project should be optimized for size it is standard to use -O2,
not -Ofast.
Secondly, optimization flags have been deemed to be non-portable, so
instead of directly using "-Ofast" we should use the intent-macro
OPTIMIZE_FOR_SPEED_FLAG to ensure toolchain portability.
Testing has shown that we are still within the real-time limit when
changing from -Ofast to -O2. -Ofast is about 1us and 1% faster, but
increases the code size by 13kB (5% of the available flash on a
nRF51).
Since the slowdown is comparatively small compared to the code size
increase we have decided to use -O2 in place of -Ofast.
Other optimization combinations were also measured and their results
can be seen below:
-Ofast in BLE Controller and in #pragma in entropy driver.

To allow the BLE stack to be used both in the real nRF platforms
and simulated ones, change the used macros in the code to the
COMPATIBLE ones.

Split meaning of BT_CTLR and BT_LL_SW, since they always are the same.
This way BT_CTLR means that there an controller implemented,
and BT_LL_SW refers to the specific implementation.
This allows alternative controller implementations.

Upcoming Nordic ICs that share many of the peripherals and architecture
with the currently supported nRF5x ones are no longer part of the nRF5
family. In order to accomodate that, rename the SoC family from nrf5 to
nrf, so that it can contain all of the members of the wider Nordic
family.

Refactor ticker execution context dependency out into HAL
folder. This decouples ticker from mayfly, enabling porting
towards a more tasklet (if and when kernel gets the support)
style execution contexts type implementation support.

Introducing CMake is an important step in a larger effort to make
Zephyr easy to use for application developers working on different
platforms with different development environment needs.
Simplified, this change retains Kconfig as-is, and replaces all
Makefiles with CMakeLists.txt. The DSL-like Make language that KBuild
offers is replaced by a set of CMake extentions. These extentions have
either provided simple one-to-one translations of KBuild features or
introduced new concepts that replace KBuild concepts.
This is a breaking change for existing test infrastructure and build
scripts that are maintained out-of-tree. But for FW itself, no porting
should be necessary.
For users that just want to continue their work with minimal
disruption the following should suffice:
Install CMake 3.8.2+
Port any out-of-tree Makefiles to CMake.
Learn the absolute minimum about the new command line interface:
$ cd samples/hello_world
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DBOARD=nrf52_pca10040 ..
$ cd build
$ make
