There is no concept of a "process" in the system, so remove last
mentions of that concept from free-form text (doc, comments, macro
parameter names).

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.

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.

Removes an unnecessary level of headings in the microkernel and
nanokernel sections of the Zephyr kernel documentation, providing
users with direct access to the major service areas of the
microkernel and nanokernel from the main kernel web page. Also
greatly reduces the introductory text for these 2 sections,
since users can now easily find out what the various subsections
provide by simply clicking on them.

Added an API table to summarize available APIs. (Still need to
add examples of how to use to more significant ones.)

Moves the Nanokernel Object documentation to a new Nanokernel Services
section within the Kernel Primer. Labels, cross-references, figures,
headings and filenames were updated to reflect the new structure.
