2aeff35a1c doc: Add section on microkernel application use of fibers
Adds a short section to make clear that microkernel applications
can utilize fibers, and can even use them with a few microkernel
object types. Revises some link names to account for the fact that
there are now 2 sections describing fiber services.

61fa627f74 doc: Terminology change - signalling -> synchronization
The kernel's services previously referred to as "signalling services",
which include object types such as semaphores, events, and mutexes,
are now referred to as "synchronization services". This term more
clearly conveys their use as a means to synchronize the operation
of two or more entities within the kernel.

46c5f12a1f doc: Overhaul of Zephyr Kernel Primer overview section
A complete rewrite of the Overview section. The revised text
provides a more logical and comprehensive introduction to the
main concepts and capabilities of Zephyr, without providing
an excessive level of detail. (Those details should be provided
by the remaining sections of the Kernel Primer.)

This rewrite has also resulted in some small changes to the
About Zephyr and other Kernel Primer sections.

d1e57e1569 Doc: Change the Architecture part to the Overview section.
Moves the files from Architecture to the Overview section of the Kernel
Primer. Cross-references and figures were updated to reflect the new
structure. Headings and content were changed as little as possible.
These changes are needed to implement the proposed new structure of the
documentation. Content was changed as created as little as possible.
