70e4a80360 doc: Purge inappropriate fundamentals info from Kernel Primer
Incorporates the brief discussion of device driver support into
the Device Drivers document, so that the driver material is all
in one place. (Also converts a few unprintable characters in the
latter document to spaces, since they appear to have been used
by accident.)

Removes the empty discussion of networking support, to avoid
duplicating stuff already covered in the Networking document.

6a8255d3ac doc: fix duplicate link warning
To fix, insert the synchronous_calls.rst file inside drivers.rst; they
are both small enough. Plus, none was calling that link anyway.

ce2e4ebdf1 device: add macro to assign driver_api at compile time
This adds the DEVICE_AND_API_INIT() macro to take in a parameter
to assign to device->driver_api. This eliminates the need to
assign to driver_api during runtime device initialization.

This provides an alternative way to declare devices. This should
save a few bytes in ROM for those devices that will never fail
initialization (in other words, never need to manipulate
driver_api pointer at all).

Also clean up the documentation a bit to remove duplicated
block of information.
