It's great to have full manifest examples that can actually work as they
are, however the number of lines can "dilute" the feature currently
described and distract from it. Add some comments in the manifests to
highlight the current topic(s).
The file tree examples and their descriptions are carefully made up and
generally excellent, however I found my eyes going constantly back and
forth between the two in order to match them with one another and build
the actual, graphical representation in my head. These new comments
attached to the major elements of the trees will IMHO accelerate that
visual representation. What I found especially lacking: clues about
which directories are .git/ clones; a pity in the pages specifically
about git clone organization.

The legacy macros were first deprecated in Zephyr v2.3. Now that
Zephyr v2.4 has been released, that makes two releases where these
macros have been deprecated, so it's OK to remove them.
This leaves support for legacy binding syntax in place. Removing that
is left to future work.
We need to update various pieces of documentation related to flash
partitions that never got updated when the new API was introduced.
Consolidate this information in the flash_map.h API reference page,
since that's really where users will run into it. This also gives us
the opportunity to improve this documentation.
Adjust a couple of kconfigfunctions.py and sanitycheck bits to use
non-legacy edtlib APIs.

How to manage repositories that require authentication to fetch from
using west is a frequently asked question.
TL;DR on the answer is that Git already has credential storage built
in, so our expectation is that there is nothing west needs to do in
particular, as users can select whatever credential helper works for
them, or set up a custom one using something like the GIT_ASKPASS
environment variable.
That's not a very helpful expectation if people aren't aware that
credential helpers exist, though, so let's document that and provide
examples for common use cases, as well as west-specific
troubleshooting advice.

This commit introduces additional naming support of config files.
It is now possible to create a config file of the form
`prj_<build>.conf` and automatically have a corresponding
`boards/<BOARD>_<build>.conf` config file merged.
As example, one can create a structure as:
|-- prj.conf
|-- prj_debug.conf
|-- boards
|-- nrf52840dk_nrf52840.conf
|-- nrf52840dk_nrf52840_debug.conf
when building: (existing behavior)
cmake -DBOARD=nrf52840dk_nrf52840 ...
prj.conf is merged with nrf52840dk_nrf52840.conf
when building: (new behavior)
cmake -DBOARD=nrf52840dk_nrf52840 -DCONF_FILE=prj_debug.conf ...
prj_debug.conf is merged with nrf52840dk_nrf52840_debug.conf

Depending on how people set up their Python, west might not be on
PATH.
I'd like to have a special-purpose step by step guide for how to
handle this in the documentation to save support time when this
happens. I think it's worth special casing since west is the first
runnable program that pip installs onto a new user's system when
they're following the GSG.

Various API involves functions and data that are conditionally
enabled. Zephyr practice is to exclude data (always) and function
(sometimes) declarations at build time using the enabling preprocessor
macro. This meets functional needs, but blocks generation of the API
documentation as Doxygen will not see the declarations.
Document the need to extend Doxygen's PREDEFINED setting to generate
the documentation.

This adds a very primitive coredump mechanism under subsys/debug
where during fatal error, register and memory content can be
dumped to coredump backend. One such backend utilizing log
module for output is included. Once the coredump log is converted
to a binary file, it can be used with the ELF output file as
inputs to an overly simplified implementation of a GDB server.
This GDB server can be attached via the target remote command of
GDB and will be serving register and memory content. This allows
using GDB to examine stack and memory where the fatal error
occurred.

This is a cleanup of the Zephyr CMake package export.
The code has been simplified so that the export now happens through a
CMake script. This avoids several generated CMake build files compared
to previous export mode, and thus removes the need for a CMake pristine
script.
A benefit of this cleanup is that it also fixes#27375.
